The training we deliver is an intensive mix of classroom and river-based sessions and there are various levels of training available - Awareness, Operations, Technician, Instructor and Management. We run these courses on scheduled dates across the year and places can be booked on an individual basis or as contracted courses for groups of 4 or more on suitable dates.
Courses run from our training centre in North Wales benefit from our state-of-the-art facilities, including a dedicated, specifically modified swift water training site and vertical access site, dam-controlled water flows, fully-equipped five classroom training centre.
Our regional training centre situated on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon benefits from on site residential facilities, modern classrooms and extensive range of diverse high quality swift water and still water training environments all located in a 90 acres parkland setting.
Both centres have extensive personal protective equipment, technical equipment stores and all our courses are delivered from our pool of highly experienced trainers.
All the courses we run are registered with Rescue 3 International. Several of the courses run by Rescue 3 (UK) are endorsed by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), for more info on this relationship, click here.
