Great experience, I had Mike as my tutor and he made the experience very relaxed. I learnt everything we needed to know.

I received great experience on the working at height course. It was different doing the sea survival course outside of a swimming pool. Thanks, Claudia for the new info and explanations on work at height and first aid!

TH IRATA Level 3

I recently attended the Leyton centre to undertake my L3 IRATA upgrade, and really wanted to let you guys know my honest feedback.

Calum and Theo are outstanding IRATA trainers. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to delivering top-quality instruction. Their ability to clearly explain complex techniques and ensure everyone fully understands each aspect of the training makes a huge difference.

Since my last visit, I’ve noticed a real improvement in the overall training standard. It’s clear that Calum and Theo have raised the bar. They create a positive, engaging environment where safety, skill, and confidence are always the focus.

Both are a true asset to the MCL team, and their passion for rope access and commitment to excellence really shine through. An exceptional training experience from start to finish.
