Kimberley Search and Rescue (KSAR) members do two types of training, Justice Institute (JI) training and in house training.

The JI is a British Columbia post-secondary institute, founded under the College & Institute Act. Its mandate is to educate people in justice and public safety. The Provincial Emergency Program (PEP), under which KSAR operates, has approved cources at the JI in which PEP and KSAR requires our members to certify, in order to perform our tasks. Cources such as Swift Water Rescue, Organized Avalanche Rescue, Rope Rescue and many more.

KSAR also does in house training, in order to build a team spirit and maintain and improve our skills learned from the JI cources.
