U.S. Search & Rescue

SARTECH II- what is it and how do I get it?

You start with the Fundamentals of Search and Rescue (FUNSAR) course, which is a 36-40 hour instructional course that is instructor led, either in-person or hybrid, depending on the instructor's choice. There is also a position task book (PTB) for attendance at the course.

SARTECH II is the certification you then tackle. There are a number of pre-requisites, a written 100 randomized question test (online at the NASAR SAR Academy), and practical skills demonstrations that are all checked off in a PTB.

Once all portions are successfully completed, the candidate is granted their SARTECH II, good for 3-years.
