Welcome!

For 25 years, Raven Rescue has been teaching clients to operate safely in high-risk environments including moving water, surface ice, and any situation requiring the use of rope systems. And now, we’ve added wilderness medical education to our course offerings!

Globally Recognized

We are agents for the global leaders in technical rescue and wilderness medicine. Our technical rescue courses are developed and certified by Rescue 3 International. Rescue 3’s curriculum has been tested and refined by a global network of instructors who have taught more than 150,000 students in 35 countries. Our wilderness medical courses are developed and certified by Wilderness Medical Associates—with international affiliates on all seven continents and the most widely-recognized wilderness medical education in the world. This means your certification will be recognized as the standard-of-care—wherever life takes you.

NFPA Compliant

Of importance to first responders is the fact that our technical rescue courses have been independently audited and found to meet or exceed the rigorous National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards—the de-facto global standard for technical rescue.

Tailored Training

We teach the all the skills necessary for certification, but we also work with our clients to ensure training is customized to their unique needs. You learn the skills you need to perform your job safely, in the environment in which you work.

Customer Service

And finally, we strive to provide excellent customer service at all stages of the training process from inquiry to certification ... or even years down the road if you need some simple advice.


Raven Rescue is the obvious choice to enhance your training program and reduce your risk profile. Find out more about Our Approach.

what’s new?

New Law Supports Search and Rescue Groups

March 25, 2010—The Alberta Legislature passed Bill 6, the Emergency Management Amendment Act 2010, which supports search and rescue groups with liability protection when acting in good faith and enables communities to deliver emergency services regionally.

our approach

We believe training should be tailored to the specific needs of each client. While we teach all the skills and knowledge necessary for certification, we approach a course for emergency personnel in an entirely different manner than one for resource managers or outdoor guides.
