A set of specialist tracks for emergencies in places a standard ambulance cannot reach — collapsed structures, moving water, confined spaces and hazmat incidents — each combining technical access and extraction with medical care.
Some emergencies happen where a standard ambulance cannot reach: a collapsed structure, moving water, a confined space or a hazardous materials incident. There the casualty first has to be reached and moved, which is where first aid meets rescue.
This programme brings the two together through specialist tracks, each combining technical access and extraction with medical care, across land, air and water scenarios. Water rescue, for example, starts from the principle that entering the water is the last option, not the first.

Recorded on the Eduforce FirstAidCPR page as “Rescue & Medical Specialists”, described there as a collection of tracks usually layered on top of an existing BLS, ACLS or ITLS certification, with track-specific entry requirements. Those entry requirements are the source's own description; Eduforce's prerequisites for each track are confirmed on enquiry.
Duration, assessment method and the certificate issued vary by programme, and are set out in the written confirmation issued for your engagement. Contact our team for the current details for this programme, including any validity period that applies.
The best-stocked first aid box on site cannot help a colleague whose heart has stopped. What matters in the first ten minutes is a trained person and a plan.
Drowning is usually quiet and fast, and would-be rescuers form a large share of casualties. Prevention and a safe rescue sequence matter more than swimming ability.
Programmes run at the Eduforce training centre or on your own site. Tell us the roles involved and our team will confirm the details.
