Read what our students say…Don’t just take our word for it…
“During my Technical Rope Rescue Technician Course in Highlands, NC; Trey Smith provided an advanced academic and practical knowledge of the subject matter that makes for a extremely informative, enjoyable, and useful program.The instructors took extra time to ensure understanding occurred and a safe operation was in order before moving onto the next subject.” “I can’t wait to take my next course with both of them again!”
“Trey Smith really knows the trade of technical rescue and offers “real-world” training scenarios.
Our instructors were easily understood, confident, and very thorough in their instructional delivery of my Rope Rescue Technician Level course.”
My Swiftwater Rescue Technician Advanced course taught by Trey Smith was the most enjoyable and physically challenging course I have taken in my years as a firefighter.” “Our instructors ensured every student performed the skills efficiently and safely.”
“These instructors always keep the class interesting as I have taken many of their classes which have always been excellent. The classes are very organized and was able to adjust on the fly. Rescue North Carolina Instructors are ALWAYS concerned about whether students understand the material and have mastered a skill before moving to the next topic.”
