Area
search and trailing certification tests require multiple days every effort will be made to accommodate schedules, but
please plan on at least two days. HRD will be completed over a single day.
Please read and be familiar with the testing Standards, which are
listed in the members section of the website.
Pre-evaluations will be done, if the team is not determined ready to test a refund will be offered
due to the huge time commitment for each test.
Those wishing to take multiple certification tests or have multiple dogs, we will accommodate your
primary request and all others will be based on availability- please contact us at time of registration with your requests.
However, we have limited spots for evaluations.
These clinics give SARDUS the opportunity to work with new evaluators.
We are intentionally moving very slow with the expansion of our evaluator pool so we can maintain the quality and consistency
that we expect with our certifications. Evaluators in-training work with our experienced evaluators setting up and observing
how each test is evaluated. This is a very work intensive process but our results are tests that are set up and evaluated
the same across the country. If you are interested in becoming a SARDUS evaluator please apply by contacting SARDUS
below. Very limited space.
SARDUS will be hosting a clinic focusing
on trailing, HRD and urban area search. Urban area search is utilizing wilderness area

the right preparation and training! Expand your knowledge and training opportunities for human remains
detection with some of the most experienced instructors in the area. There will be opportunities to test for certification
as well. Class size limted to 15 participants.
