Rescue 3

Ice Rescue Technician Training Course

Ice Rescue Technician Training Course

Course type:

Emergency Service & Water Rescue Team Courses

Description:

The Ice Rescue Technician (IRT) course is valuable training for emergency responders who may have to venture onto surface ice to perform a rescue.

Our ice programmes are run 2 hours from Oslo, providing easy access into a wonderful winter landscape.

In a rescue situation, it is already clear that the ice is unsafe, and therefore this course does not spend a lot of time on ice formation and determining its strength. Rather, the emphasis is on self-rescue and the full range of techniques and specialised equipment that can be used for rescuing others. The curriculum also includes the significant medical considerations for patient packaging and extrication posed by cold water immersion.

Course length:

2 days

Location:

Southern Norway
