This course is designed from the ground up to increase your organizations capability to effect rescues, by improving key elements of your teams performance during rope rescue operations: such as rescuer mobility, litter mobility, and rigging that facilitates movements on more than one axis. This training will explore dynamic anchoring, improvised and portable high directional rigging, personal verticality, rope access techniques, and team dynamics. This is a fully customizable course, bespoke to your organization.  

​

Duration: 3 to 5 days

This course is designed as a beginner and/or refresher for those members in the early stages of developing their rope rescue skill set. Our instructors employ a stepped approach to developing student confidence and to building knowledge of individual components of a rescue such as using rappel, belay, and MA stations before moving students into team scenarios. This course is in accordance with NFPA 1006 Chapter 5 Awareness and Operations.

​

Duration: 4 days

This course focuses on a simplified approach to identifying suitable anchors & deploying MA’s in scenario-based evolutions. Students will learn to use change of directions (COD) and tie backs to facilitate multiple uses of a single system. Our instructors use a “more with less” approach to rigging which promotes critical thinking while greatly reducing the moving pieces within the rescue.

​

Duration: 3 days

This course offering focuses on building teamwork and situational awareness while on scene. Our instructors replicate real-world scenarios that place a premium on teamwork and ingenuity needed to complete the rescue inside the “Golden Hour”. Our instructors teach a proven “critical path” that promotes individual thinking while working inside a team dynamic. Your team will learn to anticipate the critical steps of a successful rescue through a greater understanding of the roles and responsibilities of their fellow teammates, while focusing on their individual position within the rescue scenario.

Duration: 3 days

This course offering focuses on the many uses of an Artificial High Directional (AHD),  specifically the Arizona Vortex. The possibilities and configurations are endless with this AHD! While this course will consist of some classroom time to review the math behind the design, a majority of the class will take a hands on approach to learning the many functions and configurations of the Vortex. We've found the best way to learn a new piece of equipment is to use it in different configurations and test it!

Duration: 3 to 5 days
