                                                                                                      There are three major parts of the test:
                                                                                                      1. Public Lift Evacuation
                                                                                                      2. Self Evacuation
                                                                                                      3. Low Angle Rescue

                                                                                                      You must be able to perform these skills while talking and tying knots. Work with your Patrol Director for self evacuation training with a partner for the public lift evacuation and low angle rescue training.
