During July 2011 Rescue South Africa presented a Motor Vehicle Rescue Course for a group of private students. Included in this group were two personnel who crew the Netcare 911 scene protection vehicle, known as Quagga, two volunteers who crew the above, a city of Johannesburg volunteer and an Emergimed advanced life support paramedic.
The aim of the programme was to provide learners with accredited training in Motor Vehicle Rescue techniques and to expose them to the challenges that are to be expected when dealing with modern vehicles. Such vehicles are equipped with state of the art safety features and are built with the latest construction techniques.
The programme was accredited by the University of Johannesburg and run according to their short course programme outcomes.
