Need Rescue Training in 2026? https://rocorescue.com/courses/rescue-essentials/

Roco Rescue Essentials™ is a 50-hour, five-day course covering the fundamental skills needed to build a strong base in the rescue world. Knot tying, patient packaging, tripod operations, and other core skills that provide a proper foundation for any aspiring rescuer and carry into more advanced confined space and rope rescue training.

This is an entry level course, but the majority of course hours are hands-on, with students spending most of their time building systems, packaging patients, and working through real rescue problems on our 5 story rescue prop.

The dates listed below are open enrollment courses held at our training center in Baton Rouge. You can sign up as an individual, or register a few people from your team without having to book a full private class.

FEB 2-6 | MAR 9-13 | APR 13-17 I MAY 18-22 | JUN 22-26 AUG 10-14 | SEPT 14-18 | OCT 12-16 | NOV 16-20 | DEC 14-18

If you need a private Rescue Essentials course for your site or team, give us a call at 800.647.7626 and we’ll put together a quote.
