Internationally Accredited Courses Built for Production
Delivered by Adventure Consultancy Worldwide, Rescue 3 Europe now offers a suite of internationally accredited safety courses designed specifically for film, TV and media production teams and crew. Open dates are offered, as well as closed courses for companies at a location to suit a production team.
The Partnership Behind the Courses
Designed combining Rescue 3's over forty years of experience developing and accrediting safety and technical rescue courses with training provider Adventure Consultancy's proven track record working with production companies on film and TV shoots as location safety advisers, consultants, film fixers, logistics experts and production trainers. Clients include the BBC, Netflix, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Disney, Sky, Warner Bros and Amazon Prime.
Who the Courses Are Designed For
These tailored courses address the varied roles of production team members from researchers, production managers, producers/directors to camera operators, instilling confidence when researching, planning and working in different and potentially challenging location environments. Critically they teach what basic safe practices need to be implemented. Participants gain an internationally recognised qualification valid for 3 years to add to their CV's. Whilst not negating the need for specialist off-site safety advisors in the different stages of production, candidates will gain the knowledge to assess potential shoot locations at the outset, potentially saving time and money on recces to unsuitable locations, as well as ensuring better logistical and safety planning for recces and shoots.
Why Qualified Crews Have the Edge
Health and safety and insurance company requirements are increasing around the safety of shoots, and a more qualified production team and crew is a clear advantage when assessing and working in potentially hazardous locations.
What the Courses Cover
The syllabus's deliver an understanding of safe systems of work, including risk assessments and other forms of pre-planning undertaken by off-site safety advisors. They also illustrate the realities of working on location with on-site safety cover, and the capabilities of the safety teams and the equipment they'll be working with. Practical skills for working safely in complex environments, plus basic self-rescue, and techniques for rescuing a colleague are taught.
