ARK Technical Rescue Training Services in partnership with a Pro-Board accredited testing agency can now offer classes in rope rescue, confined space rescue, trench rescue, and structural collapse rescue. Successful test candidates can receive Pro-Board certification for the related training course.

Accreditation is the stamp of approval from a third party (Pro Board) review of an agency’s certification system.  The review includes all aspects of certification testing including; completeness, fairness, security, validity and correlation to the national standards.  Agencies such as state/provincial certification agencies, educational institutions, governmental entities, and national organizations are accredited.

Benefits of Pro Board Certification

Professionalsim has long been a goal sought by members of the fire service. It has only been within the past 25 years that a system has evolved to produce national professional qualifications standards that an agency can use to establish performance measures for training programs. Agencies that achieve ProBoard accreditation are recognized as having met the rigors of review by an independent organization. This independent review is the best way to assure candidates and governance bodies that the training agency's program meets the national standards.
