VRT - Verify, Refresh, and Train
Length of course is dependent on client’s needs.
No Prerequisite
VRT is a fresh approach for fire departments and Industrial Rescue Teams to review and preserve a team’s skill set. We verify the skill level of the rescue team members and establish a baseline skill level. Then, we identify areas for improvement and help the team with efficiency. Most importantly, we introduce the team to new techniques, equipment, and any new regulatory/standard changes.
