Technical Rope Rescue - Level I

American Alpine Institute ETPL
The American Alpine Institute Operations Level Rope Rescue Course equips fire departments, paramedics, and mountain rescue units with the skills to manage scenes, identify rescue requirements, and perform low- and high-angle evacuations. This program meets NFPA 1670 operations-level standards and addresses NFPA 1006 and NFPA 1983 requirements, building a strong foundation for professional rescuers. Graduates earn a Rope Rescue - Level I: Operations certificate, demonstrating their ability to perform essential rope rescue tasks and support technician-level teams on complex missions. This course is also the first step in the Technical Rope Rescue Comprehensive, a four-part training series. After Operations Level, participants can advance to Technician, add Self Rescue for Climbers, and complete the Advanced Mountain Rescue course. Courses can be taken individually or bundled into a 14-day comprehensive program for the best value.
