The atmosphere here is truly like a family, and everyone is incredibly passionate about teaching. If you’re looking to get your rope access license for your future, definitely here is the right place. The instructions are funny but algo serious about what are you doing on the ropes. One of them speak spanish, which is great if it’s your mother tongue and you’re worry about understanding everything. Don't miss out on one of the best choices you could make for your career!

Great experience during my IRATA 1 training. Chyna, Laura and Christian were amazing instructors very patient, clear, and supportive throughout the course. The reception staff were also very friendly and helpful, and the facilities were excellent. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to train. I would definitely choose them again! Highly recommend!

Without a doubt, the best training centre in Sydney.
I’ve had experiences with other training centres before and my last revalidation at IRT Access was honestly very disappointing. The overall experience was poor, and unfortunately the assessor was rude and unprofessional, which made the whole process stressful and uncomfortable.
Because of that experience, I decided to change to 5th Point and they completely exceeded my expectations.
From the moment I arrived, everyone was welcoming, friendly, professional, patient and genuinely supportive. The atmosphere is relaxed, positive and respectful which makes a huge difference during training and assessments.
The trainers, Christian and Laura are outstanding. They explain everything clearly and in a simple, easy-to-understand way always taking the time to answer questions properly. During the practical training, they teach different techniques and approaches allowing each person to choose what works best for them. They are patient, motivating and fun to train with creating an environment with zero unnecessary pressure while still maintaining a very high professional standard.
The facility itself is excellent very spacious, organised and equipped with modern, well-maintained equipment. It truly feels like another level compared to other training centres.
A big thank you as well to the owner, all the staff and especially the assessor John who was extremely professional, respectful and polite throughout the entire process. Everyone at the centre contributed to making the experience positive, enjoyable and stress-free.

Amazing training centre, 100% recommended. Good equipment, amazing trainers, really good vibe and they really worry if you are actually ready to do your assessment or not. I will be taking my Level 2 for sure with them 😊. Dyno by far the star of this course ❤️

I recently saw an opportunity to expand my plumbing business using industrial rope access methodology. So what if it doesn't work out I thought, but nothing ventured, nothing gained they say. I had no idea who 5th Point were and had no introductions to the company via a third person. What better way to find out if something is good or bad other than finding out for yourself from scratch right?
As a qualified trainer and assessor myself with a broad background in engineering and social fields, I have to say this ticks all the adult learning boxes. From the get go, Leigh and his crew were very hospitable and reassured every participant throughout the learning process.
The facility is professionally maintained with excellent and a diverse range of equipment.
The pace of learning and instructor to participant ratio is ideal. Each participant is attended to from their base level irrespective of their rope experience and built up from there.
The experiential learning technique is complimented with some theory along the way so you get to find about lessons learned throughout the industry's history. Leigh has a plethora of industry related stories, not to mention detailed funny facts about UK history and her affiliated countries.
All types of participant questions are encouraged which makes this a great learning environment.
I highly recommend this course as I can see Sydney expanding its housing commitment to high rise. This appears to be one strong element in consolidating trades with access via affordable means for body corporates looking for access solutions.
I look forward to learning more about this industry.

The IRATA rope access course at 5th point is challenging but rewarding. The instructors are well informed and encouraging. The facility has plenty of space with many different features to learn rope access techniques. Good technique is stressed here, push DOWN with that leg! Sorry and thanks Leigh and the 5th point team for letting me sweat all over the place!

Absolutely top-notch training experience at 5th Point Rope Access!
The instructors here are truly amazing — their knowledge is phenomenal, but what really stood out was how they take the time to interact with every student. They make sure you fully understand the material and feel confident and comfortable throughout the course. Josh, Laura, and the owner Leigh are absolute legends — easily some of the best in the business.
The facilities are great too — the building is clean and well-organized, and the kitchen utilities are a good standard, which makes the whole experience even better.
Whether you’re looking to do IRATA training, GWO, or Working at Heights, 5th Point has you covered. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone serious about rope access and safety training.

Leigh was genuine, Josh was patient and great at explaining new concepts in plain English, Laura kept us in line and up to scratch.
It was a pleasure to learn from the team, and I recommend it to anyone interested in venturing into the rope access arena.

Can't thank the guys at 5th point enough. Was not confident at the start of the week but with the help of Josh and Chris it all came together by the end of the week, they always believed in me. The free 1 day course is also awesome value when factored into the price. Facilities are great, on site parking and all the gear you need as a L2 or 3
Thanks again
