T18161: Tracking Core Skills

TRACKING CORE SKILLS

TCS PROVIDES AN INTRODUCTION TO TRACKING FOR SAR FIELD TEAM MEMBERS.

In this 2 day training event, observational skills are developed so that sign or clues can be found. You will learn about the sign left by people as they travel through the environment, and develop your tracking skills in order to be able to follow an individual in the wilderness. You will learn about the use of tracking sticks and using a light source to help with the tracking process, whilst learning about the importance of processing a clue site correctly.

This course covers the theory of the topics, but also offers plenty of field based skills practice. Some pre course is required but there is no post course work and there are no prerequisites.

This is a practical based course, you will spend most of the time outside. Please wear appropriate outdoor clothing.
