Emergency Services

We suggest the Level 2 course for the beginning of your training. Level 2 courses give you basic knowledge of your environment, and personal safety needs, and introduce team safety and rescue.
Upon completing this course you can then gain some practice and experience and then upgrade to Level 3 which deals with third-party rescue in higher-risk environments.
Environments include: Swiftwater, Ice, Winter, Rope, Boat, and Helicopter
Response Capabilities: Shore-based, low-risk, static / flat-ice, low slope, basic operations

Level 3 is the place to start for any emergency services certification. This suggests you’ve spent time in your environment, but are ready to learn how to rescue others in medium to high-risk environments safely.
