Coming soon….  Emergency Medical Responder Training (EMR)

September 15, 2011

You asked for it .......... so here it is! 

We are pleased to announce that with the help of our partners at Wilderness Medical Associates we will soon be offering an EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) course within the Province of BC.  We are in the process now of seeking accreditation through the BC EMA Licensing Branch.  We hope to have the program up and running for Spring 2012.  We are really excited about this program and believe it will revolutionize the approach that has been historically taken in the delivery of this program. 

What should you expect? 
- Same dynamic “common sense” approach as with all of our programs.
- High percentage of hands on experiential learning.
- Training delivered to your door.
- Taught by skilled educators with years of operational experience in the field.
- Facilitated with the same industry leading customer service you have come to expect from Raven Rescue.

Know the Knots

Our approach to rescue focusses on low-to high risk decision-making, and simple, fast techniques. When applied to rope work, there are a myriad of knots to know and ways to rig a system, but here are the basics we recommend for anyone working around swiftwater, surface ice or employing low and high angle rope systems.

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.
