Smaller Class Sizes Improves the Learning Experience
Let's face it... Big classes are not conducive to learning. Our class sizes are limited to no more than 12-14 students. We refuse to deliver a course where our students do not get the one-on-one attention they deserve.
Train Within the Environment You Are Expected to Perform
Our training philosophy is simple... we prepare rescuers within the environment they are going to be operating. This provides a realistic training environment adverse conditions can create enormous challenges.
