How do I get more training?
- You need to let your Station Leader know that you are interested in training, and discuss what training is available in your unit. However, because of finite funds, the course offerings are limited. Some of the available training courses funded by RCM-SAR are: SARnav 1 & 2, First Aid, Pleasure Craft Safety Checker and RHIOT. However, your station may arrange other courses such as oil spill response that would have their own funding arrangements.
