SAR Training Program

We are extremely proud of the New SAR Training Program we have created.

This training program was designed by all of the current and future trainers for El Dorado County Search and Rescue.  We have asked for feedback from ALL of the Team Leads as well as input for all Training Officers.  Some of these trainings are available online and can be found under the "Course Descriptions" link on the left.
