Rope Rescue Technician (RRT)

Description

This is the stand alone Rope Rescue Technician training course for those with a current Rope Ops certification. Please be sure to get approval from Crux Rescue before signing up for this class.

This class is available as a Flex Option Course in the Rope Rescue Operator or Rope Rescue Operator & Technician COMBO Course  where you can register for just the RRO course, the RRT course, or the RRO + RRT COMBO course.

This course is designed to take students from basic over-the-bank rescues to progressively more vertical scenarios. Students learn and practice such skills as preplanning, size-up and scene management, ascending and descending, belaying, mechanical advantage systems, lowering and raising systems, patient packaging and litter attending, tethers, and highlines.

Completion of the RRT class helps a team operate at NFPA 1006 and NFPA 2500 (Formerly 1670) – Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications – Rope Rescue at Levels I and II.

In addition, Technician level training is mandatory for inclusion on many Federal Emergency Management Agency Teams at different Team levels.

REMS Standard Of Rescue | This class meets or exceeds all the Rope Operations / Technician standards for most Rapid Extraction Module (REM) Systems Requirements. These classes allow REMS teams to practice with equipment required in the minimum gear list provided by region 6 and FIRESCOPE standards. Since 2015 we have trained over 40 REMS teams. We have also helped review reccomended standards and assisted teams in building gear profiles that meet their region and training scopes. As always, this class is only the first step in becoming a competent responder; practice, experience, and judgement are all needed after the completion of the course.
