One group. Eleven countries.
One shared standard.
Founded in Bulgaria in 2007, IRATOS Group has grown into a group of companies providing inspection, repair, maintenance and industrial training services across eleven countries and three continents.
From one Bulgarian company to a global group.
IRATOS (Industrial Rope Access Training & Offshore Services) Ltd was formed in Bulgaria in 2007 by three like-minded industry practitioners. As the business evolved, two of its original founders remained and continued developing the group.
Beginning as a single legal entity in Eastern Europe, IRATOS expanded through carefully selected local partners and fellow directors. Today, the group operates in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, Bangladesh, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and Bulgaria, spanning eleven countries across three continents, with its head office in Singapore.
Each IRATOS company manages its own in-country operations, processes and controls, supported by continuous guidance from group management at the Singapore head office. This structure combines local responsibility with shared procedural, quality and competence standards across the group.
Together, the group brings more than 25 years of combined industry-specific experience to inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM), specialist services and industrial training for the oil, gas, marine, petrochemical, renewable and subsea sectors.
Local responsibility · group supportThree principles behind every course.
Hands-on, always
Skills are built through practice on real equipment, not slides. Our ratio of practical to theory reflects how the work is actually done.
Assessed, not assumed
Every trainee is assessed against clear competency criteria. A pass means the skill is demonstrably there, for auditors and for the job.
Aligned to standards
Our programmes map to internationally-recognised safety frameworks, so your certification is understood and respected across the industry.
“A certificate should be proof of skill, not a substitute for it. Everything we do starts there.”
Experienced practitioners, certified to teach.
