Caveats

  • We try to balance teaching worst-case scenarios with common problems.
  • We don't train for every situation you'll encounter - we try to prepare you to think on your feet so you can act responsibly in any situation.
  • Real learning happens in real emergencies with the support of a more experienced buddy. This training is just a foundation, if you don't use what you learn, you'll lose it.
