What a great week!! The basic rafting course finished yesterday after 8 days of hard training on the beautyful rivers of the bernese oberland! Everyone was tired but super stoked to have been part of this... We went out and rafted the Aare, the Simme, the Saane and the mighty Lütschine in the last week and all the students learnt a lot about what it means to be a river guide!! Huge thanks out to Riaan and our sponsor Outdoor Interlaken, supporting us with rafts and vans. It would not have happened without their help! Also many thanks to Koryn Gould, who came and joined the course and shared his huge knowledge with us. Last but not least: thanks Adele, Nick, Orry, Petr and Louis for working hard and learning fast! I wish everyone the best in the upcoming training and I will see you again on the whitewater rescue course on june 2nd!
Rescue3 Whitewater Rescue Technician WRT

In Switzerland, it is mandatory for all raft/canyoning guides to complete a water rescue course in order to get certified by the SOA . In the course, we learn the basics of rescue theory and emergency management, fast and precise risk- and site analysis and a safe and efficient application of basic river rescue technics. The course ends with a assessment and the internationally recognised certificate of the Whitewater Rescue Technician (WRT).

This training course is intended for personnel who may be required to carry out rescues in a swiftwater and flood environment, including emergency services personnel and mountain rescue teams. It also aims at new canyoning guides, since it is mandatory to have completed a white water rescue course before starting the SOA canyoning courses. In the course, we learn the basics of rescue theory and emergency management, fast and precise risk- and site analysis and a safe and efficient application of basic river rescue technics. The course ends with a assessment and the internationally recognised certificate of the Swiftwater Rescue Technician (SRT).

Canyoningguides und Safetykajaker, welche Rettungen im Wildwasser ausführen müssen. Für angehende Raft/Canyoningguides in der Schweiz ist die Teilnahme an einem Wasserrettungskurs obligatorisch und Zulassungsbedingung für die SOA Prüfungen. Ein Retter kommt bei Notfällen schnell in anspruchsvolle Situationen, welche ein fundiertes Wissen und erprobte Handlungsstrategien erfordern. Im Kurs erlernen wir die Grundsätze in Rettungstheorie und Notfallmanagment, präzise und schnelle Lagebeurteilungen und Risikoanalysen und die sichere und effiziente Ausführung von Rettungstechniken. Kursziel ist die Ausbildung von kompetenten Rettern und ein funktionierendes Notfallmanagement. Dieser Kurs zeigt, wie man mit wenig Material viel erreichen kann. Safety Kajaker, Rafter und angehende Retter aus anderen Gebieten erlangen Wissen und Strategien, welche im Notfall Leben retten können. Der Kurs schliesst schliesst mit einer Prüfung und dem Zertifikat Whitewater Rescue Technician (WRT) von Rescue 3 ab. Minimale Kajak- oder Raftkenntnisse sind Bedingung für die Kursteilnahme.
