“Rescue professionals require hands-on training to develop the necessary skills to work safely and effectively in the field,” stated John McKently, CMC School Director & Lead Instructor. “By refreshing our courses and locations each season, we expand our reach and provide more rescue and work-at-height professionals across the nation with the training they need to do their jobs effectively.”
Continued McKently, “For the Fall 2018 season, in addition to our beginner rope rescue and confined space training courses, we’re also adding an advanced Rope Rescue Technician III and a Rope Access SPRAT® Level I class which prepare students for the SPRAT® Level I exam.”
In the early 1980s, CMC developed one of the first curriculums for teaching mountain rescue skills to public safety professionals. Their experience as a leader in the rescue equipment industry naturally led to the teaching of rescue techniques and the establishment of the CMC School.
Over the years, the CMC School has evolved to include open enrollment and contract classes on Rope Rescue, Confined Space Entry and Rescue, Trench Rescue, Structural Collapse Rescue, Tower Rescue, Tactical Rappelling, Rope Access, and other unique or difficult access or rescue situations.
