The ERCA Generic Rescuer qualification is aimed at instructors who are already ERCA qualified (either for Adventure Park or Traditional Ropes Course) who, as a designated rescuer, need to be able to rescue a customer or member of staff who is stuck at height.It is a 3-day course covering the rescue and recovery of participants or staff who are in need of rescue at height on any type of ropes course.
The aim of the course is to develop skills that can be used to avoid situations that could necessitate a rescue in the first place. Much time is spent covering risk minimising options that enable those stuck at height to be lowered to the ground without the need for a complex rescue.
The course develops the ability to assess the operations on site, consider the alternatives to reduce the risk of requiring a rescue, and choose the equipment and techniques most appropriate for a simple effective rescue.
ERCA qualifications are recognised at ropes courses throughout the UK and Europe, and this course follows the ERCA syllabus for the Generic Rescuer Qualification and is fully compliant with EN15567
