“Because of the way the course is organized and implemented by the instructor, you will not just “memorize” the techniques, but rather “learn” how to use them for different rescue situations.”
-Behzad Najafi, Leeward Energy

“The course is bulletproof. You can arrive as a novice in safety equipment and leave feeling 100% comfortable in the equipment and your skill set to perform in an adverse scenario.”
-Jansen Ward , TGM Wind

“The training and techniques taught here are hands down the safest and most effective that I have been introduced to in my 12 years of working in the Wind industry.”
-Michael Rafter, Morgan Advanced Materials

“Very thorough instruction in different scenarios, allowing students to actually work a lot with the specific equipment in different configurations. Students complete the course with a fairly high level of familiarity with the equipment and how to use it in different circumstances.”
-Troy Phillips, Nordex

“I found that the course helped to open my mind to new ways to perform a rescue. It was helpful to be given multiple ways to handle each situation. I learned some new ways to utilize the given gear. As a trainer it will help me to teach my guys to think outside of the box.”
-Adam Shumard, NextEra Energy

“We actually performed real rescues on real people. What more could you possibly ask for in a training course. Rescues were performed under close supervision and were carried out multiple times. I feel comfortable with the system, I know how to use it. I can save myself and others if needed.”
-David Webb, Nordex
