The Core Rope Curriculum is divided into 8 levels, which provide a rough scale for how much experience a person should have before attempting a certain tie. All suspension techniques are in Level 3 and above. Depending on how intensively you are practicing, a level represents between 4 months and 1 year of study.

The level of each tie has been determined by Topologist based on its complexity, risk factors, and relationship to other techniques in the curriculum.
