LTR Resumé

LTR Training Systems Inc. was created in 1986 to prepare industrial workers and military personnel for Alaska's arduous environment. Since that time, we have grown to offer our courses internationally and maintain full staff certified positions. We instruct over 2,000 students a year in these advanced programs and have produced our own training manuals, slide shows, and formal training aids to accompany our curricula. Programs include lots of hands on training and real life simulations that test students under pressure. We believe "Education without Exp-erience is no Education at all."
Training includes programs for law enforcement, military and industry in techniques for escaping submerged airframes. This training includes the use of portable aircraft escape simulators of our design and incorporates training in Emergency Breathing Devices. Specifically the use of H.E.E.D. (Helicopter Emergency Egress Devices). LTR is a recognized company for qualification with these devices.
