  1. 01

    Interview

    A conversation about who you are and why you want this work. It asks for honesty; it gives you a straight answer.

  2. 02

    Physical assessment

    Strength, endurance and composure under load. It asks for preparation; it shows you exactly where you stand.

  3. 03

    Psychological assessment

    Judgement, temperament and calm. It asks for nothing you can rehearse; it confirms you can carry responsibility for another person's safety.

  4. 04

    Accredited training

    Intensive, field-oriented programmes under international accreditation. It asks for everything you have; it gives you a profession.
