Lost Person Behavior - Train-The-Trainer

• How much emphasis on urban versus wilderness searches?
• For about half the course (Lost Person Behavior) the basic concepts apply equally well to both.  About 70% of the emphasis will be wilderness/rural searches and 30% for urban searches.  Among the "urban" profiles, dementia, children, and despondents will be well covered.  These three profiles also are common wilderness incidents in many areas.
•  
• Will you be offering a second class?
• Not at this time.  In 2009 the first class filled rapidly and the schedule allowed for a second class. However, this year a second class after the first will not be possible. 
•  
• Do you still have space in the August 3-6th class?
• Yes.  As of June 6, 2012
•  
• Can I bring someone to stay with me in the room who is not taking the class?
• Yes. They will need to pay for food and lodging even if sharing a room. The rates are quite reasonable.
•  
• Do you travel to put on the Train-The-Trainer?
• Yes. If you meet either minimum attendance or a flat fee the course can be offered at your location.  We recently offered a TTT in Nova Scotia and Arkansas. Call or email for details (contact us).
