The Structural Collapse Technician 2 course is 80 hours, eight days in length, ten hours of instruction each day, and is designed to provide participants with the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform rescue at structural collapse scenes due to natural disasters or human forces. This course differs from the Collapse Rescue Operations as it provides increased time to perform more in-depth skill sets as required by the FEMA US&R curriculum. 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.
This course meets and exceeds NFPA 1670 and NFPA 1006 for Structural Collapse Technician.
