🚨 NSDA CERTIFICATION UPDATE 🚨

We currently have ONLY 2 spots remaining for NSDA Wilderness Area I Live Find Certification during our upcoming Search & Rescue Workshop in Ottawa June 11-14.

This certification is designed to evaluate a team’s ability to reliably locate a live subject in a wilderness environment under established NSDA standards. Certification is intended for serious teams pursuing operational readiness and deployment-level development.

Before registering, candidates should be aware that certification requires preparation and completion of prerequisites including NSDA membership, online testing, training logs, and supporting documentation.

Interested handlers can review the testing standards here:

⚠️ Only 2 spots remain and they will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

Questions? Reach out and we’d be happy to help guide you through the process.
