Description:
The Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technician Advanced Water course is for existing Rescue 3 Technicians looking at advanced rescue situations, including search management in a swiftwater and flood environment.
Rescue 3 Technicians wanting an advanced rescue capability in water can do the SRTA water module. Those wanting to add rope rescue, including steep and vertical banks and over-water technical rescue capability, can do both water and rope modules.
Technicians working towards their SRT Instructor qualification need to do the SRTA-Water as a prerequisite to their Instructor Training course.
At advanced level programmes students normally provide their own PPE; contact us if this is a problem.
