During the one-month course, the trainees will study search and rescue systems of Vietnam and regional countries. They will be also provided with basic knowledge of search and rescue operations, communication system, optimal search methods and search and rescue vehicles.

In addition, they will have chances to develop search and rescue plans and conduct such activities effectively. Moreover, they will be guided to use life-saving appliances, equipped with diving and swimming techniques, as well as first aid skills.

The trainees are hoped to apply what they have acquired during the course to their future duties. These trainees are key forces to reinforce ministries, departments, localities and units to conduct maritime search and rescue operations, helping minimize damage caused by natural disasters and other incidents at sea.
