Rescue 3 International, Inc., is a California based organisation that has been providing state-of-the-art courses in swift water, rope, helicopter, boat-based and other technical rescues for many years.
We provide the following courses at Bala Watersports.
Awareness Water Rescue – A one day classroom based course designed to provide personnel who may be working near water with sufficient knowledge to be aware of the hazards created by this environment and develop an understanding of water rescue techniques.
Operations Training £110
Basic Water Rescue First Responder - A one day course designed for personnel who may be deployed to a basic (still) water environment where they may be required to undertake rescues
Swift water Rescue First Responder – A one day course designed for personnel who may be deployed near a swiftwater environment, but would not necessarily be undertaking rescue work themselves
Operations Swiftwater Rescue First Responder – A two day course which expands upon areas covered in the Swiftwater Rescue First Responder course to comply with the NFPA standards for operational personnel
Technician Training £250
Swiftwater Rescue Technician Unit 1 (SRT Unit 1) – A three day course to train personnel in suitable techniques to undertake rescues in a swiftwater environment. This course is an updated version of the SRT 1 course and is compliant to standards laid down by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
The above training courses are valid for three years and upon completion students receive a certificate, ID card, badge and skill sheets co-signed by themselves and the instructor. A copy of this is sent to Rescue 3 International in the USA who then enters the student onto their database.
