Education and Training

 SARDUS has established a relationship with an organization that will assist us in providing web-based education for SAR dog handlers.  These classes will be developed to assist SAR dog handlers with continued education, to assist groups with developing new resources and to provide an avenue for people looking to meet NIMS requirements.  The largest challenges presented by NIMS are the educational requirements.  Our ultimate goal is to provide these via web to reduce the costs associated with taking these classes in a classroom.  These classes will be through an accredited State college.  We are currently looking for individuals to assist in the creation and production of these classes.

The following are links to on-line courses...
