SARDUS, NASAR and NASDN
are offering certification
opportunities while dog teams are in Colorado for the national search and rescue conference. Testing will be for area
search, human remains detection, and trailing. The clinic will be held in Estes Park, Colorado, June 1-7, 2015. We will attempt
to schedule tests during times that will not conflict with conference classes that you are interested in but due to the nature
of the testing and scheduling issues this cannot be guaranteed.
Cost does not include room or board, accomidations for the SAR conference is at the YMCA at the
Rockies.
Tent camping, RV parking and hotels are available in area please contact us for more
information.
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.

New Evaluators
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.
