MRC's basic four day RHIB, IRB, or rigid hulled training class is built around the following elements:

• Basic high and low speed operations
• In water victim recovery (including multiple victims)
• Open water search patterns
• Stern and side towing
• Rescues around fixed hazards (rocks, piers, or debris in open water) by using throwing devices or rescue swimmers
• Running alongside another vessel underway
• Helicopter hoists
• Start up and shut down procedures, and engine familiarization and trouble shooting for outboards, diesels, props, and jets
• Sponson and valve repair (RHIB and IRB only)
• Principles of rescue swimming
• Use of rescue equipment

MRC is frequently asked to create additional curriculum to cover the specific, and sometimes unusual, operational needs of our clients. These have included:

• Surf operations, and beaching and launching through surf
• Launch and recovery from ships
• Multiple victim scenarios
• Specialized law enforcement, security, or unusual rescue pararmeters
• Specialized vessels (including high speed craft)
• Operations in swiftwater
• Night operations

MRC has particular expertise in several other training areas, including:

Rescue Swimming

Swiftwater

Davit Training

If a client has a training requirement involving rescue boats, boat davits, or rescue swimming, MRC can customize a training class built around its core curriculum to meet the need.
