What's
Involved in Rescue Training? You must be a minimum of 18 years and be prepared to attend an introductory day to see how everybody gets on with each other. Here you’ll ‘play’ with the rescue units to get a better idea of what its all about. Apply through Rescue-Services to a Crew Chief of either Platinum Rescue or Cobalt Rescue for acceptance to train. In your first year you will be required to attend one approved Marshal Training Day (Speed, Race or Rally) including fire training and radio procedure training (Rescue-Services can organise these). If you hold a valid First Aid Certificate it’s a bonus, otherwise the Rescue-Services team will organise certificated First Aid and other advanced medical training as required. |
