The Instructor II course is designed to emphasize teaching formalized lessons from materials prepared by the instructor, including relating information from one lesson or class to the next. Areas covered include instructional development, evaluation and testing, program management and training resources.
The Rope Rescue Technician course is an advanced, performance-based program that exceeds the job performance requirements of NFPA 1006: Standard for Technical Rescue Personnel Professional Qualifications (Technician Level). It builds upon the Rope Rescue Operations course and prepares students to safely and effectively manage and perform complex rope-based rescue incidents.
Participants engage in extensive hands-on training scenarios that challenge their ability to assess, plan, and execute technical rescues. Instruction emphasizes advanced rigging techniques, system analysis, high-directional and high-line operations, mechanical advantage systems, and vertical litter movement. Students will apply risk-management principles, use redundancy and safety factors in system design, and perform victim access, packaging, and movement through realistic and dynamic scenarios.
Throughout the course, students will work as part of a coordinated rope rescue team to demonstrate technical proficiency, leadership, and communication under operational conditions. The training reinforces IFSI’s core values of safety, teamwork, and operational excellence while ensuring compliance with NFPA 1006 JPRs.
This course awards Pro Board certification.
