Rescue Refresher Modules - Leader's Guide Version 1.0

This program is designed to support the refresher training needs of technical rescue teams. Often these teams are not provided with sufficient opportunities to refresh their skills, so any training time that is allotted must be used as efficiently as possible.

To achieve this, D2000 Rescue has developed a series of six modules focusing on various aspects of team operations. Each module can be presented in one to two hours and can be taught in any order. Included also are a series of checklists and These materials are not designed to introduce new concepts, instead they provide an opportunity for the team to review their best practices and ensure that everyone can follow them.

The design of the course assumes that the students have completed high-angle rescue training within the last two years or so.

Every Leader's Guide includes 10 student workbooks.
