TRAINING COURSES
COVID 19 STATEMENT
We are extending those expiring certificates over 2020 into 2022. Some require a short online 'review' which affirms they have ridden at least once this season and are maintaining their operational capacity.
We plan to post the next courses here and on our Twitter. We just completed an Instructor and Operators course but due to COVID19 we are selectively offering public facing courses and managing dates according to Public Health guidelines.
As "Essential Workers" / "Key Workers" any required "face-to-face" training will be held in accordance with the official agency (Police, EMS, SAR, Fire etc) requirements and WHO / Public Health requirements with more options for online or virtual learning. Depending on how long things go on for, we may reinstate online Distance eLearning for most courses. This is done but completing written assignments and then using whatsapp video, Zoom and private video conference or posts to invigilate or verify required skills.
Globally managed through our training partners Advanced Rescue by DIMERSAR at office@AdvancedRescue.ca
