Get ATA Certified
Technical training for everyone in the anchor supply chain, from installers to engineers. Make ATA Certified the competency standard specified on your construction projects.
Use the ATA Certified mark to identify individuals and teams who have completed the required tier pathway.
An Industry Standard for Anchor Testing Competency
ATA Certified establishes an industry-recognised competency standard that can be specified in project QA policies, tender documents, and engineering specifications, ensuring everyone in the anchor supply chain has demonstrated baseline knowledge.
Product Agnostic
Unlike manufacturer-specific programmes, ATA Certified covers all anchor types and brands. Independent training that engineers and asset owners can trust.
Standards Based
Content derived from AS 5216, BS 8539, AEFAC TN05, VicRoads Section 680, and EOTA TR 054. The same standards referenced on real construction projects.
Field Proven
Developed by engineers who have performed thousands of anchor tests across hundreds of sites. Real-world knowledge, not just theory.
Reference Library
Enrolled members get exclusive access to our curated reference library with AEFAC technical notes, sample specifications, AS 5216 webinar recordings, and industry guidelines.
Five Progressive Tiers
Each tier targets a specific role in the anchor supply chain. Start with ATA Aware (free) and progress through to ATA Height Safety as your role demands.

- Navigate AS/NZS 1891.4:2025 and AS 5532:2025 requirements for height safety anchors
- Distinguish structural anchor testing (AS 5216) from height safety anchor testing (AS 1891.4/AS 5532)
- Distinguish AS 5532:2025 manufacturer type tests (12/15/18/21 kN) from AS/NZS 1891.4 field inspection proof loads
- Understand the four AS 5532:2025 rating levels: 12 kN, 15 kN, 18 kN, and 21 kN
