Cold Weather Survival Training
Cold Weather Survival Training
Our Cold Weather Survival Training is designed to provide vital training and skills to individuals and organizations operating in cold, arctic type environments in the United States or abroad. This course is not a recreational course, but is designed for professionals who are working in harsh cold environments. The standard courses are 2-3 days in length. The training is fast paced with an emphasis placed on hands-on experience. Generally 1 day is spent in the classroom with the remaining time in the field. The course can be modified to accommodate any special needs of the participating organization. Certifications are available for all of the training programs we offer. The following is a sample of subject areas taught during the program.
