Water Rescue Equipment Training

WRET is a two-hour session delivered in a dry environment. Access to water is not required. However, for those that have safe access near water, this may support the delivery of elements within the training session, such as spotting open water hazards.

The session develops skills and confidence in rescue equipment use, as well as developing knowledge and ability to improvise safely, where no rescue equipment is available and covers:

  • Open water hazards (such as canals and rivers)
  • Coldwater shock
  • Types of rescue
  • Public Rescue Equipment (PRE)

Each person who successfully completes the training and achieves the required level of competence will receive an e-certificate. Training is then valid for two years from the date of completion.

Delivery Method

To ensure the best support is provided to candidates, the maximum number attending a course is limited to 12.

Course Duration

The total qualification time for this course is 2 hours.

Assessment

Assessment will be a continual evaluation of a mixture of practical and theory-based sessions.
