Commander rescue at height

The "Commander rescue at height" training originated from the rescue at height specialism, because there is a need for more substantive insight into situations about which decisions must be made quickly and well-founded. Since the commander is the one who will have to make these decisions, this additional training is only intended for commanders.

During this intensive 5-day training, the participant learns how to deal with all relevant risks and how to communicate them with the team members. In addition, a number of additional skills related to communication, delegation of tasks and risk management will be covered. Many scenarios will be practiced, intended for a top-down approach.
