Before long there were over 500 active instructors in more than 30 states. Today, these numbers continue to grow. Courses are being taught in Australia, Canada, Costa Rica, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Zaire and Zimbabwe. At this writing, there is an instructor cadre in place in most of these locations teaching this program on a regular basis. Rescue 3 International and our network of instructors are constantly revising the courses to provide the most current information on techniques and equipment.
Training is available at the awareness, operations, and technician levels.
Rescue 3 classes are recognized or validated by many state and national organizations, including many emergency management agencies, community colleges, and fire marshals' offices. Personnel from many of the federal USAR teams have taken our classes. Agency references are available upon request. Today the program is dynamic. It continues to evolve as the rescue field develops.
