Empowering Search & Rescue
SARTREX is a non-profit organization dedicated to training and mentoring search and rescue professionals worldwide.
Empowering search and rescue professionals worldwide through our international training exchange.
SARTREX aims to build a global community of SAR professionals who can collaborate, share knowledge, and support each other in their efforts to save lives. By bringing together SAR teams and individuals from around the world, SARTREX hopes to promote a culture of continuous learning and improvement in the field of search and rescue.

Through its training and certification programs, SARTREX seeks to equip SAR professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to operate effectively in a variety of challenging environments and situations.

These students will attend a 3-month educational and networking program together, taught by vetted international experts and SAR instructors in their field or discipline, with the goal of taking that knowledge back home, fostering community, unity, and developing their teams to save lives.

During this period our attendees will attend 2 months of online training and a 2 week in person training and development program.  Where our attendees will fly in from all over the world to take part in our training exchange program.
