Emergency Response And Rescue

Course Overview

Pinnacle are a recognised national leader in technical rescue training in Australia.

Our Cert III in Emergency Response and Rescue qualification has been built from the ground up by a team of Australia’s best fire services operatives, paramedics, confined space and vertical rescue technicians.

We stand behind this program 100% and believe it to be the finest Emergency Response and Rescue training available in Australia.

Course Outline

Not all Emergency Response and Rescue Cert III’s are created equal. Due to the various electives, it is possible to deliver a very ‘soft’ course, bypassing many of the more practical and technical units of competency.

 Pinnacle have not taken this approach. Our nationally recognised Cert III is jam-packed with all of the technical rescue units. We’ve done this for a very good reason - these are the real-world skills needed by Emergency Services Officers (ESO’s) on major sites in Australia.

We have the best trainers in Australia and you’ll learn from the best in order to gain these life-saving skills.

Course Inclusions

• All necessary equipment can be provided (although we encourage you to bring your own)

• This is one of our flagship programs. Therefore, training is conducted by our finest instructors. These operators hold a raft of qualifications such as SPRAT/IRATA Rope Access Technician, all relevant Confined Space, Height, and Vertical Rescue tickets and have years of experience training these skills. You are in good hands.

• Plenty of practical hands-on training. The course is very practically oriented!

• Not only is the course very practical, it is very intense both physically and mentally. We provide all the support we can, however if participants are not able to meet the demands of the course they will be deemed not yet competent.

Each Trainee Must Provide

Participants must

• Be at least 18 years of age

• Hold the required prerequisites: You must have previously attended our 1 day Confined Space Entry course or hold equivalent competencies, as well as Provide First Aid and Advanced First Aid

• Be clean shaven (required under AS 1715 for breathing apparatus) (mandatory)

• For specific instructions, please examine the ‘Each Trainee Must Provide’ section of each course (click on the module name in the table above).

• Understand that this training is realistic and very physical. It is important that all personnel who attend this course are willing and capable of moving about in dark, possibly smoky, confined spaces while wearing 15kg breathing apparatus sets, AND willing and capable of moving about at height (ascending and descending ropes) on towers and other high structures. If you do not possess the fitness/strength to ascend ropes under your own strength, you will be unable to demonstrate competence for the vertical rescue component of this program.
