An experience like no other. All members of the Abseilon team are genuinely invested in your future as a rope access technician. They are even willing to stay late to help get you extra training reps, when possible. The instructor, Mike, is very experienced and looks to share any and all knowledge he has obtained over his career, both as a worker in the field and as an instructor. His ability to patiently assist and teach the material in a multitude of ways makes him a valuable asset to Abseilon, as well as whoever gets in front of him. Ken, the owner is a person of great character. He knows how much a great training experience can impact any persons career/life, especially in the field of rope access. I would highly recommend training through Abseilon for anyone looking to get trained or send employees for training. Everyone will come back a better and safer worker, pass or fail.
Amazing company! Abseilon is the Rolls-Royce of rope access schools. The facilities were state of the art, and the instructor Mike was an excellent teacher, and very patient with guys who have never been on the ropes. Ken has been there with me from the beginning guiding me and pushing me in the right direction, introducing me to his contacts and the Houston Area Safety Council. Within 4 months of taking the rope access class I was offered a job making 80,000 a year. I Would have never known what to do without their help.
Spent the week wtih Abseilon in Phoenix working on my SPRAT level 1. The staff were fantastic. Everyone was super friendly and the instructors were first rate. As a firefighter with rope experience I was pleasantly surprised at the depth and difficulty of the course. It was challenging and fun, and I was learning the entire time. I would highly recommend.
I was certified in November of 2017 in Houston, and my experience with the Abseilon team was nothing short of fantastic. The facility is top notch with great instructors that are extremely competent and insightful, equipped with the knowledge to answer any question in regards to rope access. I learned so much through this program, and it was a great experience working with the Abseilon team. I look foward to coming back for my my level 2 certification!
Amazing experience. The class was very active, fun and safe. The instructor was friendly, informative, and really hands on. The atmosphere made me feel welcome. From someone who had no experience with rope access, I am confident with the skills I learned to succeed. I recommend Abseilon to anyone and everyone who’s serious about rope access.
I had a great experience with Abseilon USA. Their facility was perfect with provided equipment and food. The training staff was very knowledgable and really prepared me for my evaluations which I passed without a problem. Its a lot to learn in 4 days to get ready for the eval. I am a fire service rope rescue instructor with over 25 years of rope experience. That helped me but rope access is a different mission and it was a lot of work and its not for everyone. That is one of the very cool things about SPRAT rope access. Its legit, not everyone gets a medal. If you get certified, you earned it and your are qualified to work at height. I highly recommend training with Abseilon USA
The money I spent out of my own pocket with no company sponsorship with Abseilon USA has already begun to render return on my investment! The course is absolutely legit, lots of fun, challenging, and was conducted by an extremely knowledgeable and well versed ropes instructor at the Pasadena, TX Safety council HASC location. Nice equipment, beautiful facility. I would recommend Abseilon USA to anyone looking to get into or holding a passion for ropes, as I do. Mr. Ken Piposar and his staff spoke to me several times on the phone, answering questions and concerns prior to signing up for the course. He runs an honest shop, and competitive price as compared to other rope providers. Their success is your success! Thank you very much Mr. Ken! Mr. Ken is a stand up man of integfrity, whose words are worth thier weight in gold. I can personally attest that applying the technical rope skills learned in this course have lead to excellent employment prospects and job prospect networking. Thru Excellent leads and references given, Mr. Ken made it possible for me to launch a great career with a fantastic company. I'd give 10 stars but Google only lets me put 5! A++++

Took my level 1 certification in January 2018 in Houston Tx and It surpassed my expectations. Ken and mike were great! Mike Duran was very knowledgeable and patient with all the new guys who’ve never got on ropes before. He went above and beyond to make sure we were all able to perform for our final test. I definitely recommend this course and I will be back for my level 2!
I've worked with Ken for the past 8 years on numerous projects on both sides of the contract coin. He and his team of rope access technicians are the best in the business. Abseilon combines the best of what could be done with safety and careful practice.
