Swiftwater Rescue Technician Advanced Course

Swiftwater & Flood Rescue Technician Advanced Course

The SRT A starts where the SRT course leaves off. After reviewing core skills we start working in the river environment at night, including night searching exercises. Technical rescues are also a continuing theme for on this course as we learn to rescue victims out of the vertical realms of steep sided river gorges, bridges or flood barriers.

Certified by Rescue 3 International to NFPA standards.

Course duration: 3 Days / 5 Days

The SRT A course has two components Water and Rope.

Course Aims:

We aim to give rescuers a thorough knowledge of swiftwater rope rescue techniques along with self rescue skills in the vertical environment. We also aim to give rescuers a thorough training in the dangers and problems related with night operations around swiftwater rescues particularly with regard to search and rescue at night.

"Very interesting & worthwhile. I am now much more confident to participate in a technical rescue scenario!"
