Does my organization have to have training with a personal escape system to receive other tactical rope training?
A
No, Revac can train your organization based on your specific needs.
Q
Can Revac provide certifications to be a rappel master at my department?
A
Yes, as with any training, rope work is a perishable skill and we recommend an annual refresher from one of our qualified instructors.
Q
Can our department/organization obtain a sample EXO System for testing?
A
Yes, but you must first have a Petzl Sales representative provide a 2 hour long demonstration of the EXO system to your organization’s assigned test personnel. The EXO system must be returned following testing.
Q
Can individual officers purchase the EXO system without their department's approval?
A
Yes, but you must first attend an EXO end user course before purchasing the kit. Call Revac-USA for certification dates.
Q
Can Petzl recommend training organizations that provide EXO system end user and train the trainer courses?
A
Yes. Also, as a uniquely certified demonstration site for the EXO system, Revac-USA is equipped to provide certified training courses through their partner Authorized Training organizations.
Q
Can departments have their Training Officers participate in an EXO trainer course so that they can in turn train their own tactical operators?
A
Yes. You can qualify to become an Authorized EXO trainer. Contact Petzl or Revac-USA for more information.
Q
Can these Training Officers train other departments outside their department?
A
No. This qualification is specific to your organization.
Q
Can departments purchase the EXO and Triact carabiner components separately from their kits?
A
No. The EXO kit is engineered as a complete system and is manufactured, tested and inspected under Petzl’s ISO 9001 quality control standard and certified under NFPA standards as a complete personal escape system.
