This course will provide fire personnel with little to no rope rescue skills, as well as personnel who have had rope training in the past who, wish to refresh their skills, the opportunity to go through, in a systematic way the various JPR's and KSA's that are referenced by NFPA 1006 2021 edition.

Students will be required to attend five (5) online virtual instructor-led classes followed by seven (7) days on campus at the Ohio Fire Academy (includes the weekend).

All students will be required to use the Jones and Bartlett Navigate platform to complete quizzes, and other assignments that will be due prior to arriving on campus. The student must commit to the class, and all of its requirements in order to be successful. Failure to do so will result in failure of the class.

Critical angles, mechanical advantage systems, rappelling, ascending, self-rescue techniques, lowering systems, high angle techniques, low angle rescue techniques, as well as lead climbing man-made structures, high-lines, and rope rescue leadership will be some of the skills covered and placed into practical application during the 7 days you will be on campus at the Academy as well as at other off-campus sites.
