• REMS Proqual

  Rescue 3 Rope Rescue Technician ProQual:
  Location:
  Time: 0900-1700
  Instructor: John Meyer, Matt Adams, Marcel Rodriguez
  Cost: $275
  Description: We all know that completing a class is not enough to maintain professional mastery of a skill. So how do we measure competency in rescue professionals? The ProQual! The RRT Professional Qualification Assessment evaluates the individual’s mastery at the Rope Rescue Technician level. It is a test of your problem-solving and discipline specific skills. Many companies are moving towards requiring proof of a ProQual prior to hire. You will be tested for mastery, proficiency, and inadequacy in the skills required of a Rope Rescue Technician. If you are successful, you will leave with an internationally recognized Rescue 3 ProQual RRT certification. 

  Requirements: Current Rope Rescue Technician certification taken at least three weeks prior to the ProQual. PPE minimums include helmet, harness, and gloves. Candidates may bring their own, but they will be inspected by instructors prior to leaving the ground.
