The Rope Rescue Technician course covers concepts and techniques to enable 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.

Classes begin promptly at 8 am and may end at 5 pm.  It really depends on you and the makeup of our class.  Jerome is a small town and lunch spots are typically packed.  Your one hour lunch may not cover the time it will take you to be seated, order, eat then walk back to the fire station.  For that reason, we ask that you pack your lunch so that we may effectively spend more time on your training for Ops certification.

The Technician class costs $150 for the 3 days of training and you must have a Rope Ops certification, or you have trained with us the previous weekend and obtained your Ops certification.

• Type III Harness
