First WreckMaster Level 8/9R in Canada

For the first time ever, Canadian tow operators will get a chance to elevate their skill sets to the highest level available without having to cross the border. The first Canadian level 8/9R WreckMaster course is scheduled for August 18 to 22 in North Vancouver Fire Training Centre, B.C.

This five-day intensive course allows its participants to explore the toughest, most dangerous, and unusual recovery situations, while enhancing and practicing their advanced math, critical thinking, and their leadership skills. The program combines classroom and hands-on instructions and its curriculum builds on top of the previous levels 2/3, 4/5, and 6/7 courses.

“The first three days of the 8/9R course include advanced rigging and winching techniques, while the last two days of the training are on rotators,” said WreckMaster lead instructor Bruce Campbell, who will be teaching the August course with his partner Jeff Martin.

The level 8/9 WreckMaster training will be hosted by the Automotive Retailers Association (ARA) and sponsored by its members Roadway Towing and Mitchell’s Towing.
