Training courses

FOR COMMANDERS

These courses cut through tactical myths to deliver proven, real-world leadership principles grounded in operational reality. Designed specifically for team commanders, incident supervisors, and emergency response leaders, this intensive program provides deep immersion in every dimension of tactical team leadership — from recruitment and training to retention, command philosophy, and organizational resilience. You will master:

The science of selecting and developing high-performance teams under pressure
Effective command structures that ensure clarity, speed, and accountability in chaotic environments
Modern tactical frameworks for managing complex incidents—whether natural disasters, industrial accidents, or CBRN events
Strategies to sustain team readiness, morale, and operational effectiveness over time Rooted in real incidents and validated through international best practices—including collaboration with the ICDO and OPCW—this training doesn’t just teach tactics. It builds leadership that saves lives.

FIREFIGHTING

A firefighter must be proficient in managing a fire incident, capable of predicting its development and associated hazards, and skilled in effective fire suppression techniques. Our training is conducted under conditions that simulate reality as closely as possible, including:
• An irrespirable atmosphere
• Extremely high temperatures
• Unpredictable surroundings
• Zero visibility
The training can be conducted across more than 10 specialised training grounds within the centre's operational-tactical zone.

SURVIVAL

Life is full of surprises. But sometimes, those surprises are dangerous.
Forewarned is forearmed. At the IRTсenter, in partnership with the Ministry for Emergency Situations, we equip you with the knowledge and skills to survive when disaster strikes — whether natural or man-made.

You’ll learn how to:
• Respond safely during an aircraft emergency or crash landing
• Survive and navigate a wildfire — from evacuation to sheltering
• Provide critical first aid until professional help arrives
• Stay calm and move wisely in a dense crowd or during an earthquake
• Protect yourself in chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) incidents

These aren’t just theoretical classes. Our training is built on real-world scenarios, developed with global experts — including the OPCW and ICDO — and delivered using actual aircraft, fire simulators, and dedicated emergency training zones.
Because when seconds count, preparation saves lives.

The life of a person is unpredictable: you never know how the circumstances will develop in the next 5 minutes, days, months. And what if the surprises of fate are not so pleasant?

FIRE SAFETY

Basic fire safety practices can prevent tragedies before they happen — protecting homes, families, and communities. But in today’s complex environments, prevention requires more than common sense: it demands expertise.
The IRTсenter offers specialized training for professionals responsible for the design, operation, and maintenance of critical fire protection systems, including:
• Fire alarm and detection systems
• Automatic fire-extinguishing installations
• Evacuation guidance and emergency lighting systems
• Smoke control and ventilation systems

Our courses are developed in alignment with national fire safety standards and international best practices, ensuring that specialists are not only technically proficient — but prepared to respond decisively in high-stakes scenarios.
Because when fire strikes, every second counts.
Training today saves lives tomorrow.

Fire safety information saves lives. Basic fire safety can keep your home and family safe by preventing fires before they start. We can offer training for specialists who work with fire alarm and caution installations, automatic fire-extinguishing equipment, evacuation and smoke protection systems.

RESCUE

We provide specialized training on extrication and rescue techniques from multiple platforms, including commercial trucks, buses, railway carriages, and aircraft. All programs are customized based on the customer's specific needs.

For comprehensive urban search and rescue (USAR) training, our facility features a full-scale collapsed building structure for practicing critical life-saving skills in a realistic environment.

OTHER TRAINING

The IRTcenter offers a comprehensive portfolio of training programs designed to respond to natural and man-made disasters — from earthquakes and wildfires to industrial accidents and CBRN incidents.

Our faculty of experienced lecturers and subject-matter experts works directly with government agencies, emergency response units, and municipal authorities to design customized training programs — fully aligned with operational needs, regional risks, and national standards.

Whether you require a one-day exercise or a multi-week certification course, we adapt our curriculum to ensure your team is not just trained — but operationally ready.

CBRN&HazMat

Our capabilities include specialized training for CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear) incident response. Developed in close collaboration with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), our courses are grounded in real-world scenarios to effectively manage CBRN threats.

The IRTcenter's status as an affiliated member of the International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) underscores our commitment to the highest international standards in emergency preparedness. This commitment is supported by our advanced facilities, which feature a fleet of equipment and multiple dedicated training sites.
