The ladder climb is a test of confidence whilst working at height. Candidates wear full personal protective equipment, including a harness, and are asked firstly to demonstrate a correct leg lock at ground level.

They then must climb a fully extended 13.5 metre ladder, to approximately second storey height, and again demonstrate a leg lock.

To finish the test the candidate is then required to lean back, with arms outstretched, and read out a number or symbol shown on the floor below.
