Aerial Rescue Training

[arborpatrol]

I am looking for suggestions on who to turn to for Aerial Rescue Training. Arbor Master and North American Training Solutions are two that come to mind. I am located in New York City and would like to host the training on site.

Thanks,

Josh

TCIA has rescue training vids through EHAP. We watch and train every year.

Why is there so little AR training on this video for bucket operators/groundmen? There must be a reason for this.

We just watched the vid and practiced Bucket AR today, and IMO this video needs to be revisited & reproduced. The EHAP video is even worse. No offense to TCIA, just an honest critique.

NATS has a aerial lift geared AR and emergency response course. You can get whatever you want from them, they'll customize the training package to fit with what your looking for.
