Urban Search and Rescue Boat Operator- Computer Based Training

The purpose of this Computer-Based
Training (CBT) is to provide standardized terminology and provide students the
knowledge they need as US&R Boat Operators prior to attending any
Instructor-Led Training. The course provides students with standardized
terminology and information that align with the operation of US&R Jon Boats
and Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRB). Prerequisites: Prior to taking this US&R
Boat Operator CBT, students must complete an NFPA 1006 Swiftwater Technician

that knowledge and focuses on terminology and knowledge for utilizing boats to
conduct water rescue operations. US&R Task Force Safety Officers are
recommended to review the curriculum, so they understand the terminology and
standardized knowledge that US&R Boat Operators are being taught in this
course. This CBT also serves as an excellent refresher swiftwater rescue team
