Surry Community College is currently planning the Emergency Services training schedule for later this year. The schedule will be based on instructor availability and may include evening and weekend classes. Some courses may be offered entirely on weekends, including Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Once we receive feedback, we will finalize the class schedule. Please note that each course will require a minimum number of participants for hands-on skills; if that number is not met, the course may be canceled.

We are exploring the possibility of offering several Technical Rescue certification courses and would greatly appreciate your input to help gauge interest and assist with scheduling. Please take a moment to complete our brief survey regarding the following potential classes:
• Introduction to Technical Rescue
• Technical Rescuer: Ropes
• Technical Rescuer: Confined Space
• Technical Rescuer: Common Passenger Vehicle
• Technical Rescuer: Machinery & Agriculture
• Technical Rescuer: Wilderness Block

Your feedback is essential in helping us secure instructors, prepare equipment, and schedule dates that work best for everyone.
