Traveling to Teach – We love what we do!

All of us at Sierra Rescue know how difficult it can be to travel for professional training. So, to make training even easier, we travel to you! Yes, you heard us right; even though we’re a California based rescue training company, we’ve taught in several other states including Arizona, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and South Dakota. But, we don’t limit ourselves just to the United States. We’ve taught internationally in the following countries: Costa Rica, Austria, Puerto Rice and Malaysia. These courses have varied from Swiftwater Rescue, Technical Rope Rescue, Wilderness First Responder and more!

We strive to offer our students the highest quality of training possible. So, to achieve these high standards, our instructors also travel to receive the best training available. For example, our lead instructors, Julie Munger and Abigail Polsby, traveled to England for Higher Education Certificates. While overseas they became part of the Associate Faculty at the University of Central Lancashire to further their teaching abilities and credentials. Before leaving England they played around in motorized boats on the Irish Sea with some Rescue 3 instructors from Wales and England, and got to do a little kayaking in Wales.

In 2013 we’re looking at teaching a Wilderness First Responder in Norway, a Wilderness First Aid in Iceland and a Swiftwater Rescue and Wilderness First Responder combo course in Honduras! It’s amazing how many places teaching has taken us. Thank you for your continued support and allowing us to do what we love – traveling to teach professional rescue courses!
