Training Courses for UK and Europe
We can devise training to suit your needs and supply and support the UK’s suite of “DEFRA” Training Modules (contained in the ‘Flood Rescue Concept of Operations’ [FRCO] document) and EC Civil Protection Mechanism SOPs for Flood and Water Rescue Training Courses.
The FRCO training levels includes training in both Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Boat Operations and Management of Water and Flood Incidents and are widely understood to be the appropriate standards for national response capability.
Accordingly, we supply the following training modules which provide a national framework of water safety:
- Module 1 Water Awareness
General water safety awareness training and basic land based rescue techniques - Module 2 Water First Responder
To work safely near and in water using land based and wading techniques - Module 3 Water Rescue Technician
Specialist rescue operation - Module 4 Water Rescue Boat Operator
Rescue boat operation - Module 5 Water Rescue Incident Management
Water related incident command
All the professional rescue training services are tailored, driven by research and best practice requirements to suit the functional requirements and Training Needs Analysis. In support of which other courses are available to the client’s Units e.g.

And where type specific training for particular craft or vessels is required then this can be provided to enhance the basic training to meet the craft operating risk assessments.
And the use of ‘Real-Time GIS Data Exchange information’ for the Search and Rescue purposes.
Helicopter Operations
We continue whilst organising ‘Masterclasses’ in North Carolina to enjoy NCHART Helicopter operations, liaison and safe working procedures incorporated in the training.
Driven by Research and Drones
We constantly review and research new techniques and methods within our spheres of interest, an example is the development of the use of Drones for Search and Rescue. This disruptive technology will have a great impact on all SAR operations.
Our partnership with SkyboundRescuer has created some very exciting developments see:

We have built a capability that can facilitate contracts being fulfilled and can train additional instructors to meet additional demand should this be the case.
If you wish to create a cadre of in-house instructors to have resilience for the future then we can discuss that option too with you.
NOTE: these training courses are for flood and water rescue. In conjunction with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) who represents the leadership of firefighters and emergency responders worldwide; their members are the world's leading experts in firefighting, emergency medical services, terrorism response, hazardous materials spills, natural disasters, search and rescue, and public safety policy - we can offer other emergency response related services.
