Rescue Course
The Canoe Control River Rescue Course (this course will fit in well with the new 5 star training) is available in the Alps and Provence as a 2-day course, with a range of accommodation options.
This is a 'full-on' no punches pulled rescue course. The course will start with a full review of the group’s equipment including the dangers caused by poor design, wrong application and faulty manufacturing. This will enable the group to proactively discuss and familiarise themselves with current equipment and issues. Together we will find out what we really need to carry, what gear works, what fails and what is inherently dangerous. Practical sessions will give you the opportunity to practice using the gear you carry to its full potential in realistic simulations. The first day will end with evening lecturettes and a discussion forum. The second day will consist of a number of 'hands on' workshops, putting all the theory into practice with simulations of probable scenarios in real locations. We will be setting up stopper rescues, vertical and river pins, entrapments, harness belays, swimmer and boat rescue, etc.
The staff to client ratio is 1:3 and there must be two members of staff working on this course. During the winter this course is also available at a number of locations in the South West of the UK. For further information on UK courses please refer to the UK course page on the main menu.
