The schedule for classes is at the bottom of the page.

We offer classes through the National Ranger Training Institute (NRTI) at Hocking College. The classes that are offered are some of the most advanced and thorough available in the country.

The philosophy of our classes is to build upon what you have learned.  So you need to take our classes in order.  That specific  order is:

1.  Rappelling and Rope  Technique.  (RRT).

2.  Vertical Rope  Rescue. (VRR).

3.  Intermediate Rope  Rescue. (IRR)

4.  Advanced Rescue  Rigging.  (AVR)

The Rock Climbing class is not a prerequisite for  any of the classes, but you do need to have had Rappelling and Rope Technique to  take the Rock Climbing Class.
