Search & Rescue Drone Training CPD
The Drone Hub’s Search & Rescue Drone Training CPD Course provides practical and operationally focused training for Search & Rescue teams, Mountain Rescue organisations, emergency services, security professionals and drone operators seeking to develop specialist search capabilities.
Designed around real-world deployments, this Search & Rescue CPD course combines classroom-based learning with practical field exercises, enabling delegates to understand how drones can enhance search effectiveness, improve situational awareness and support ground teams during critical incidents.
The course begins during the afternoon and progresses into darkness, allowing delegates to gain valuable experience in night operations, thermal imaging and low-light search techniques.
Why Search & Rescue Teams Use Drones
Drone technology has become an increasingly important capability within Search & Rescue operations. Equipped with advanced thermal imaging sensors and high-resolution cameras, drones can rapidly cover large areas, identify points of interest and support decision-making during time-critical incidents.
Search & Rescue Drone Training provides operators with the knowledge and skills required to deploy UAS safely and effectively during:
- Missing person searches
- Vulnerable person incidents
- Lost dog and animal searches
- Security searches
- Rural and urban search operations
- Open terrain and woodland searches
- Night-time search operations
