- Introduction to TBSP (5 patrol days)

- Candidate final exam
Candidates without OEC
Candidates without OEC training are required to have a current certification in two-rescuer CPR (Red Cross CPR for the Professional Rescuer or equivalent). Candidates without OEC are required to do 11 training and patrol days their first season and eight patrol days their second season.
First season:
- Introduction to TBSP (Orientation day only)

- Avalanche Level 1 (1 classroom, 2 field days)

Good luck!
