This course is delivered on the BK117 helicopter which is an ideal platform for advanced EMS and SAR training. Renowned for its twin-engine reliability and versatility, the BK117 excels in a wide range of operations—from winching rescues in remote and rugged terrain to rapid patient transport in high-pressure emergency situations.

This course runs out of Tasmania, Australia. Tasmania’s diverse landscapes present a variety of challenging conditions. Crews can experience wilderness search and rescue scenarios in remote, rugged terrain, practice coastal and oceanic operations, and operate in suburban and inland waterway environments. This diversity ensures comprehensive training that mirrors the range of real-world missions’ crews may encounter.

Whether it’s navigating Tasmania’s towering forests or conducting rescues over the Southern Ocean, Hobart provides the perfect blend of isolation, diversity, and accessibility for world-class EMS and SAR training.
