Awesome training company. We’ve now had 2 classes with them and highly recommend. First class instructors!

Vector provided training that was customized to fit my departments needs. These guys were professional, engaging, and challenged us with new methods and ideas. We look forward to working with Vector Rescue again soon.

All killer. No Filler.
- Matt S.
This course was by far one of the best trainings I’ve been fortunate to attend. The instructors were student oriented, and made us as the students their priority which led to a better training environment. This course was amazing in the fact that we had top notch instruction, followed by hands on skill stations.
- Matt S.
I have taken advanced rope classes in CT, NH and ME and I can confidently say this was the most informative, well balanced and just plain fun classes especially compacting it into a 2 day 16-hour class. All instructors were extremely knowledgeable not just about use of the systems, but rigging theory and the math behind applied forces and resultant forces, which was a nice addition that is often left out of other rope programs.
- Ryan B.
The instructors were top notch, and I learned a tremendous amount of information. I came out of the course feeling more confident in myself and the equipment. I truly enjoyed my time with the class.
- Jeff P.
For a beginner, the technical portion of the class seemed confusing and above our capabilities. After the hands on explanation, the instructors made it seem old hat to us. Outstanding training crew!
- Stephen M.
I have been fortunate in having taken two separate classes with Vector Rescue (Arborist Rescue and Arizona Vortex). The instructors were well versed in their craft and their methods of instruction were such that anyone could comprehend the lessons and perform the skills with confidence.
