Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technician – Advanced – Water (SRTA W)

The Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technician Advanced – Water course is for existing Rescue 3 Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technicians looking at advanced rescue situations both in and over water including search management in a swiftwater and flood environment.

This is the water module, which can be taken separately, or combined with the rope module into a single five day course ( Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Technician – Advanced – Water and Rope (SRTA W&R) ). Current Rescue 3 Technicians wanting an advanced rescue capability in water can do the SRTA-W. Those wanting to add rope rescue including steep and vertical banks and over water technical rescue capability can do the SRTAW&R.

Technicians who are working towards their SRT / WRT Instructor qualification will need to do the SRTA-Water as a prerequisite to their Instructor Training course.
