LTR Training Systems

LTR Company Introduction

LTR Training Systems Inc. was created in 1986 by Brian Horner, a U.S. Military Survival instructor, to prepare industrial workers and military personnel for Alaska's arduous work environment. Since that time it has grown to offer programs internationally to conduct their own research into the limits of human endurance, and the training needed to survive. LTR Training Systems now instructs over 2,000 students a year and operates its base training facility in Anchorage, Alaska. In conjunction with their training offices, LTR maintains snow mobiles, ATV's, river rafts and aircraft crash simulators to support their programs. They have maintained a 20 year relationship with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to use state and federal lands for their field programs. LTR also owns 80 acres of wilderness area in Alaska, with their own lake, for extended field experience programs.

LTR Accomplishments and Services

Law Enforcement and Military Programs
Aviation and Tactical survival programs for the U.S. Army, DEA, the U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Marshals and the U.S. Border Patrol. Tactical programs include simulated conflict scenarios using blank firing weapons and explosions.

Oil Field and Seismic Support
classroom and field training programs in Oil field safety, worker protective clothing, vehicle breakdown, remote medicine, helicopter off-shore survival and BOSET training taught to OPITO standards. These programs have been presented in China, Japan, Russia, Turkey, Sweden, The Georgia Republic and Mexico

Disaster Response
Educational programs for business', municipalities and community support groups on disaster preparedness, terrorism, evacuation control from high-rose buildings, fire fighting, victim extrication and disaster medicine. LTR makes use of its experience with the movie industry to simulate large scale disasters with artificial smoke generators, sound effects, role playing actors and even search dogs.

Lifeboat and Life raft Training
Marine life support training conducted both in pools, and in open water, that deal with cold water survival. These programs provide real world hands-on experience with wind, waves, current and exposure clothing to prepare workers for oil spill response, vessel sinking's, helicopter crashes and commercial fishing. For the past 12 years LTR has conducted this training in the brutal conditions of the Beaufort Sea, on the the North Alaska Coast.

Bear Awareness and Defense Training
Formal training programs in bear biology, behavior and avoidance for researchers, seismic teams and geologists. This program trains personnel to safely handle and fire weapons in defense of life and property. Students are trained on "Tactical" shooting and reloading techniques while firing at LTR's moving, charging, bear target systems.

Industrial and Remote First-Aid
A full range of CPR and First Aid programs for your industry personnel that meet your OSHA requirements, without being boring and ineffective. Our true expertise is in medical programs for workers that prepare them for "delayed care" scenarios. Students receive education above basic first aid in wound cleaning, putting dislocations "back in", realigning fractures, dealing with spinal injuries and thawing frostbite.

High Angle Industrial Tower Rescue
LTR programs can also meet your OSHA regulatory requirements for competent tower climbers and teaching your workers to climb safely.. at any height. Our rope rescue programs are based on years of experience, on multiple terrain with only the best in life-safety equipment.

Winter and Polar Survival
LTR Training Systems are the U.S. experts in cold weather survival. Nobody instructs in colder environments and nobody can give your personnel the experience that LTR has working in the cold. From their yearly programs on the polar ice cap, expeditions to Antarctica and glacier rescue courses, LTR can help you adapt. Our record includes field training programs conducted at 50 degrees below zero!

Safety Record
Our impeccable safety record is the model for combining experience and realism in education. With a combination of risk management and attention to detail we protect our students in some of the worst conditions.
