The course is broken down into classroom lectures and teaching stations which include the following topics: hydraulics, river dynamics, self-rescue, shallow water crossing, tension diagonal rope placements, throw-bag operations, foot entrapment and personal protective equipment.  Teaching progresses in stages from the classroom to outdoor activities, and later, the swimming pool and swift water site.  The basic fundamentals the students will learn will increase their confidence within the water, promote teamwork and emphasize safety.
