Swiftwater Rescue Feedback:
"More than anything else, I appreciated Scott's professionalism and content knowledge. The NOLI set-up and delivery made the course much easier to understand, more thorough in details, and more memorable for possible employment. Because of the seriousness of the topic, having a professional like Scott instruct created the right amount of gravitas and touch that the material warranted. I look forward to practicing the skills I gained and will continue to work with NOLI in future courses."
