ROPE RESCUE COURSES

OPS / TECHNICIAN LEVEL | DPSST | NFPA 1006, 1670

OVERVIEW:

Rope Rescue Operator  + Rope Rescue Technician • COMBO  

As a way of harmonizing when each skill is taught with several worldwide  certifications, we have divided our industry leading Rope training into two  progressive classes geared toward Operators and Technicians.  

The Rope Rescue Operator (RRO) class continues to feature the tried and true  systems familiar to most departments and agencies. The class builds on these  foundations and brings instruction covering the many advances in technology,  equipment and methods. The RRO provides the knowledge and skills required  by personnel to actively participate safely and effectively on a rope rescue team working under the supervision of Rope Rescue Technician. When taken  as a standalone course, it is 30 contact hours.  

A second 30-hour course, the Rope Rescue Technician (RRT) course has the  RRO or equivalent as a prerequisite and covers concepts and techniques  required for small teams to undertake technical rope rescues. A building block  approach is used throughout the course so that candidates can progress from  key concepts through to the rigging and operation of full systems for raising,  lowering and highline rescues. 

When taken together in a Combo Rope Class,  the total contact hours are reduced to 52 hours.  

These classes combine skills that will prepare rescuers to operate in low, mid  and high/vertical rope environments. We believe in training rescuers who can  not only build and operate rope systems, but also understand the forces, how  they are applied, and creatively build safe solutions. Many students in these  classes are rope rescue professionals, fire fighters, mountain guides and  personnel aiming to become “Technician Level” responders.
