Dedicated Experts. Proven Experience.

At Vertical Training Academy, our strength lies in the people behind the training. Each member of our expert training team brings a unique blend of field experience, technical expertise, and a passion for safety. Together, we are committed to raising the standards of tower climbing, rope access, rigging, and rescue training across the United States.

Our instructors are more than teachers; they are seasoned professionals who have spent so many years working in the field. From telecommunications tower technicians to rope access specialists, our team has firsthand experience with the challenges of working at height. This ensures that every lesson is grounded in real‑world application, not just theory.
