ASG is proud to highlight the successful delivery of another specialised Search & Rescue Tasking refresher course to the Irish Coast Guard (IRCG) and a visiting member from the UK Coast Guard. This course is part of their continuous commitment to offer advanced and tailor-made training to international and government organisations and emphasises the close and valued partnership they hold with the IRCG.
The refresher course is an integral component of a recurrent training program aimed at individuals who have previously completed the comprehensive SATAC course. Initiated almost five years ago, this program has benefitted hundreds of Watch Officers through numerous sessions, reinforcing ASG’s role in enhancing maritime safety and SAR capabilities.
This particular session was meticulously designed to update and refine the participants’ skills in critical areas including Operational Risk Management, Emergency Response Planning, Meteorology, Navigation, Flight Planning, Air Law, and Communications. The curriculum also placed significant emphasis on SAR operating procedures, Flight Time Limitations, Human Factors, and Crew Resource Management (CRM), ensuring that the Coast Guard personnel remain equipped with the latest knowledge and skills to execute SAR missions efficiently.
ASG’s dedication to providing such specialised training exemplifies its commitment to assisting the IRCG and other organisations in maintaining excellence in SAR operations along the Irish coastline and beyond. This training ensures that the IRCG and its partners are always prepared to deliver top-tier SAR services, ensuring safety and security around the clock and throughout the year.
