The Technical Search Specialist course is 40 hours, five days in length, eight hours of instruction each day, and is designed to provide the participants with the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform technical searches of CBRNE and/or structural collapse incident scenes. A heavy focus is placed on listening devices, search cameras and GPS- enabled location techniques. This class includes a realistic night exercise in Disaster City®. TEEX makes every effort to ensure consistent terminology and training within the discipline of urban search and rescue, so this course mirrors the FEMA US&R curriculum but does not provide FEMA certification. usar@teexmail.tamu.edu for more information about this course.Upon completion of the course, participants will be issued a TEEX Certificate of Completion. Participants not able to complete all portions of this course will be issued a TEEX Certificate of Attendance.
