Your training will focus on search and rescue, sea survival, emergency services and civil defence training in a variety of awesome yet challenging locations from the mountains to the sea. You will experience simulated rescue exercises, help a marine vessel in trouble and find out what it is really like to be a paramedic, police officer and fire fighter.
Each week you will stay on location, immersed in your training. This course is practical, active, engaging and fun!
