Fundamental Foundations of Rope Rescue
We believe this to be the most important class we teach.  Without a firm foundation to build your rescue program on, your rescue house will eventuallly crumble to the ground.  We provide students with an understanding of not only what to do, but also why they are doing it.  We lay out the fundamentals that will be used in all technical training from confined space, technical rope rescue, to building collapse.  We are told by our students that this course exceeds what most other companies consider their "Technician" course.

Operational Rope Rescue Concepts 
With a firm foundation formed, we start to build the frame work that brings the rescue house alive.  In Operatoinal Rope Rescue Concepts, students begin to apply the fundamental elements of rescue as this scenario based learning forces them to look at  the big picture.  The class starts with walk through teaching scenarios and finishes with full scale student action scenarios.  It is one thing to sit and learn about rope rescue and a completely different one to apply the concepts across a broad range of applications. Scenarios, concept briefs, critiques, and feedback make this an intensive learning experience for all those involved, instructors and students. Don't be fooled this is the most advance operations class you will ever take.

Advanced Rope Rescue Techniques
Students should have a firm grasp on fundamentals and operational concepts before taking this course.  We take that understanding and begin to put new tools in the tool box of the advanced rescue technician.  This class will help students move past the basic concepts and learn to apply and improve upon what they have already learned.  If you don't have a rock solid foundation, this class will eat you alive.  This is not a class for the weak skilled student.

Progressive Rope Rescue Theories 
This is the place where we question everything.  Nothing is left untouched our questioned.  Mathmatical theories, applications, strengths, myths, and past practices are put to the test.  This is the doctorate class of rope rescue, born in the labs of each core of participants.  This is the place where changes take place and the rescue world evolves.  DO NOT take this class if you are not prepared to hit the books and study or if you feel uncomfortable questioning every past practice.  This class will fry your mind.

Confined Space Technician 
What makes this class different is the intense scenario based training that takes place after the book work is complete.  For those completing classroom before we come, this class is 50 hours of hands on, all out training.  For those needing classroom as well, the class is 80 hours and involves a more in depth look at the processes and paperwork involved in confined space.  (We are able to help some agencies receive IFSAC and Pro Board certification for this class.  Contact us for details.)
