STAFF
The Staff at DIMERSAR Academy are dedicated professionals and focused on getting students and clients the results they need to achieve their goals. We have about 16 to 20 Educators as well as a core 'committee' of 8 principle seniors who lead and manage and decide on policy, etc.
We also have a very extensive outreach programme where we can call on internationally accredited rescue and disaster management instructors from all different backgrounds and specialists from Combat Search and Rescue to Swiftwater Rescue and from Disaster Managers to Bodyguarding.
Looking at the broad range of Emergency Services, Military and Civilian Courses we provide it is fair to say that it is so extensive that it would be difficult to offer everyone year around on our public access calendar. So if you are interested in something you do not see, please enquire further. We also often tailor our programmes for clients according to specific needs.
All STAFF are professional and proactive people who form an essential part of the Academy's success. Our INSTRUCTORS are Industry and subject matter experts who have extensive backgrounds in the relevant subject/s. These SPECIALITY SUBJECTS broadly include Police, Fire and Rescue, Ambulance, Military, Public Sector, Government, NGO (Non-Government Organisations) Business, Leadership and Management, Teamwork and Team Building, Vehicles (Driving trucks, cars, motorcycles, mountain bikes, ATVs, powerboats, jetboats, horse riding, etc.)
