Roco Rescue | Mission driven, safety focused since 1982.

Instructors were very knowledgeable and conveyed techniques and information in layman’s terms so we could understand. They made sure we received the repetitions needed to learn and grasp the knowledge.

As a plant operator, I didn’t want to do this course at first. However, the Roco course and the instructors completely changed my mind and made me enjoy the course tremendously.

I attended Roco’s Rescue Technician Certification several years ago, but this was my first time to take the Essentials class. It was an excellent culmination of the “need to know” skills for rope rescue and confined space. I learned skills that will be implemented in my everyday life. I look forward to returning for more Roco training. Hats off to the Chief Instructor (EC) for always making the courses fun, interactive, and packed with as much knowledge as possible into a fun week!

Roco instructor gave his all to help us learn. He did an amazing job. I now feel super confident in my rope rescue skills thanks to the Roco Chief Instructor.

The class was great with step-by-step instructions – before, during and after the scenarios. The instructor took time to be sure everyone understood the tasks prior to moving forward.

The pace of the class was perfect. Each technique built on the other, and it helped me improve my rescue skills. Great hands-on training.

Instructors were extremely knowledgeable and thorough with explanations. Provided great critique on methods and equipment to enhance skills of all involved.

Instructor was very knowledgeable and kept the classroom “alive.”

Class was tough, but it was one of the best training courses I have taken so far in my career. Chief Instructor was tough, but fair and helpful. I came in knowing nothing, but with good teaching, I now understood everything clearly.

Instructors kept students engaged and scenarios were real life based on realistic plant scenarios.

The thing I liked best about the Roco course was the enthusiasm of the instructors and their willingness to demonstrate an open-mind toward alternate ways and methods.

I came into class with zero knowledge and now I feel I can be a helping member of a rescue team.

I always learn something new every year during refresher training. Different instructors always bring new points of view.

I liked best in the Roco class was real-life scenarios that we could see at our site – and how to manage them. — Student 3/2026
