Over the course of two weeks, 12 specialists underwent intensive training under the guidance of the Center’s instructors.

Throughout the training, particular emphasis was placed on strengthening cooperation among participants and promoting the exchange of professional knowledge and operational experience. Working together as an international team enabled the rescuers to enhance their practical skills while establishing valuable professional cooperation.

At the conclusion of each practical module, participants completed final performance assessments conducted under limited-visibility nighttime conditions. In addition, all trainees successfully passed the final theoretical examination through the RACHR`s online educational platform.

Upon successful completion of the program, all participants were awarded personalized certificates recognizing their achievement.
