Current revision
This is a sample schedule (master) for SAR Fundamentals courses hosted by PCSAR. Each section links to a lesson plan.
It is intended to help instructors schedule their sections. It is not intended for students as a commitment of what will be taught when. Times are only approximate. Elements may be moved around.

[edit] not covered
The following material is not explicitly scheduled and where appropriate will be covered in earlier sections.
- 0.75 hr
 - SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch13
 - SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"
 - Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"
 
Rationale to not include: SAR workers only use lat/long when interfacing with members of the public and air searchers. Conversion to UTM can be accomplished by a suitably trained person in the planning section.
Navigation - Legal Land Description, Road Numbering System, Municipal Approach Numbering System
-  1.5 hr
- 2006-09-30 10:15 11:45
 
 - SAR Fundamentals Manual: Ch.13 "Navigation"
 - Basic SAR Skills Manual: Ch.7 "Navigation"
 
Rationale to not include: SAR workes only use LLD and its derivatives when navigating to the search site and interfacing with the public and municipal workers. Navigation by LLD is a difficult skill to maintain. Conversion to UTM can be accomplished by a suitably trained person in the planning section.
Navigation - GPS - practical - waypoints
- See lesson plan after 1:13
 
- good idea. Try to work in in future years.
 
- 1.25 hr
 -  SAR Fundamentals Manual: 
- Ch.24 "Rope Rescue Equipment"
 - Ch.25 "Rope Related Skills"
 
 -  Basic SAR Skills Manual:
- Ch.21 "Rope Rescue Equipment"
 - Ch.22 "Rope Knots and Skills"
 
 - related skills-exercise on knots
 
Rationale to not include: To assist in a rope rescue takes considerably more training than can be included in this course.
- Basic SAR Skills Manual: F-12 "Mountain Bike SAR"
 
Rationale to not include: A speciality not often encountered.
