Since 1986, Rigging for Rescue has offered technical ropework consulting and inquiry based rope rescue seminars to groups and individuals from across North America and overseas either at their location or at Rigging for Rescue's base in the Kootenays of south-eastern British Columbia. Through considerable ongoing research and analysis, Rigging for Rescue's developers have methodically reviewed, tested, and evaluated numerous ropework techniques-often exposing assumptions about ropework that were pure myth and folklore. This data-based approach has led to the introduction of practical techniques that are gentle to the rope, patient, and rescuer-while maintaining high levels of safety.

Rigging for Rescue seminars have been, and continue to be, instrumental in providing clear direction and leadership on ropework to the rescue community. Understandably, Rigging for Rescue has become the source of much of the material used by other progressive instructors. Those who are in positions of responsibility need the information that a Rigging for Rescue seminar can provide and should consider this seven-day session as the bare minimum an effective instructor would need as background.

Search and rescue personnel, firefighters, mine and other industrial rescuers, swiftwater rescuers, military personnel, mountaineers, cavers, and ski patrollers from around the world are just a few of the people who have attended in the past. Key leaders and instructors from rescue groups, fire departments, mine and other industrial rescue teams, mountaineers and the military have claimed that Rigging for Rescue seminars are vastly superior in terms of educational and practical value than any other similar course they have attended. Many divergent rope rescue disciplines have benefited greatly from Rigging for Rescue seminars.
