Rope Programs
All ARS Rope courses are designed to appeal to both seasoned rope rescuers as well as new inductees into the rescue community. Custom courses can be contracted for any level of experience and for specific industrial applications. Each class will be tailored to meet your needs, and your specific protocol. We understand that not every agency practices rope rescue the same way, we will introduce options and work with the students in the methods that meet your agency's needs and their comfort.
Rope Rescue Operations and Technician
The Rope Ops / Tech course covers start to finish rope rescue operations. It will meet the needs of both the new rescuer and the seasoned rope technician, refining existing KSAs and introducing new ones. Areas of particular focus will be rope physics, mechanical advantage theory and practical application, complex systems and resource management. Students will begin with the basics and work their way up to meeting all of the requirements for NFPA and all current industry standards.

Advanced Rope Rescue
The advanced rope rescue class will challenge the Rope Rescue Technician with new and exciting scenarios. Very little time will be spent in the ‘classroom’ as all of the learning will be hands on. Students will be tasked with limited equipment scenarios, line transfer rescues, artificial high directionals, high line work and vertical litter loading. A section of the class will be dedicated to equipment testing and failures for a first hand look at the physical limitations of the gear we all depend on. The final exam for this course is an evaluation of teamwork and individual skills mastery with a well rounded grasp of the physics involved in rope rescue.

Industrial Rope Rescue
Industrial rope rescue and access shares many of the same standards as Fire Rescue but not all of the same missions. Additionally, there are many industry concerns beyond NFPA including ANSI and OSHA. Each Industrial Rope course will be tailored to your needs and application.

Rope Rescue Refresher
Not many agencies get the opportunity to routinely practice the skills acquired in the Operations or Technician course. Often, we are asked by students if there are any upcoming classes they can shadow to keep their skills sharp. The refresher workshop is a weekend of nothing but hands-on time for a small group of experienced students. For more information, please check the "Refresher" box on the Contact form.
