Frequently Asked Questions
Are swiftwater courses from other training providers equivalent to the ones you offer?
The following is a list of courses that we consider close enough to our SRT 1 course in terms of content and rigor that holders of these certifications qualify as SRT 1 “re-certifications” and are eligible for a 25% discount. Certifications must have been issued within the last three years (ie. still be valid). If the certification has expired, or proof of certification is not available, students must register as “new certifications” again, and pay the full fee.
Equivalent for purposes of re-certification:
- Rescue Canada’s “SFR-T-SAR R1”
- Rescue Canada - “ORS-T”
- Rescue Canada - “SFR-T-Fire/Rescue R1”
- Rescue Canada - “Swiftwater Rescue Technician (SRT) R1”
- Rescue Canada - “SRT-III” (an older system of course names)
- Dive Rescue’s Swiftwater Rescue II
NOT equivalent (despite the similar names, we believe these courses represent lower levels of certification and therefore you must register as a “new certification” with us):
- Rescue Canada - SRT I and SRT II courses
- Dive Rescue - Swiftwater Rescue 1
- Lifesaving Society - Swiftwater Rescue 1 and 2 courses
