SVELAV PRO 1
This four-day course provides basic avalanche training for outdoor work in mountain environments. Emphasis is placed on recognising avalanche terrain and managing avalanche risk from a workplace perspective. It includes examination components for avalanche terrain and companion rescue. The training consists of both theoretical sessions and practical outdoor activities. Topics include
-
Avalanche and weather forecasts
-
Dasic snowpack observations
-
Snow stability assessments
- Search and rescue
- Reporting avalanche occurrences and accidents
The courses is held in English or “Svorsk” - a mix of Norwegian and Swedish.
Prerequisites are training in first aid equivalent to at least three days, including CPR and hypothermia. Solid skiing skills off-piste are recommended. Participants should also have practised transceiver searches before the course.
Note that I also offer this course in >>combination with a wilderness first aid (WFA) course that fulfills the Pro 1 prerequisites.
