'''Prequisites:'''

By the 2nd weekend of the SAR Fundamentals course,
the student must have completed separately
and show an ICS 100 certificate.
This approximately 3 hour course
is available from multiple sources,
including for free on-line from the Alberta government.
It takes approximately 3 weeks to issue certificates, so students are encouraged to start on this prior to the first weekend.
See http://pcsar.webhop.org/mediawiki/index.php/Training/ICS_100

For SAR Alberta certification, 
the student must also attain
separately (before or after)
and show a valid Standard First Aid
certification.

Although there are roles in SAR for people of all physical abilities,
this course requires the students to perform some vigourous outdoor activities.
Students should be able to walk 3 km in one hour through lightly wooded mostly level terrain in cold weather
while wearing a 10 kg pack and avoiding terrain hazards.

'''Cost:'''

Pincher Creek Search and Rescue is not receiving outside
funding for this course.  If a registered student does
not attend, PC SAR will still have to pay fixed costs.

For non-PC SAR members, PC SAR hosts the course on a cost
recovery basis.  A deposited fee of $65 is required

For PC SAR members, PC SAR will use internal funding to
