Student Learning Outcomes

At the end of the Avalanche Rescue course the student should be able to:

• Describe what to do if they or a member of their party is caught in an avalanche.
• Identify and be able to use gear necessary for avalanche rescue.
• Set up a realistic scenario in order to practice an avalanche rescue response.
• Improve their response skills and times during and after the course with feedback from instructors and peers.
• Develop a plan for continuing practice.

All students will have the opportunity to get feedback from an instructor on their rescue skills and timed practice in a realistic scenario.

Students who have previously taken an AIARE 1 or an Avalanche Rescue Course will find value in having a professional help them set up realistic scenarios, practice skills in a realistic setting, receive feedback from an instructor, keep up with current best practices, and have an opportunity to practice advanced rescue skills.

Cancellation: We recommend you purchase trip insurance in the event you have to cancel your course.  If you need to cancel within 30 days of the start of the course you will not receive a refund.  Cancellations more than 30 days of the start of the course will receive a refund minus $50.
