The Colorado Search and Rescue Association's CalTopo course has two main objectives:

1. By the end of this course, students will be able to utilize CalTopo skills in mapping of a search and/or rescue incident. 
2. By the end of this course, students will demonstrate an understanding of the CSAR Best Practices for CalTopo mapping. 

Additionally: 

• This self-paced course will be offered at no cost to all CSAR members. CSAR members will receive a course password yearly. 
• Non-members may register at this link at a course cost of $150: https://revenue-usa.keela.co/caltopo-course-registration-non-csar-member. The registration confirmation page of this includes the course password, so don't skip past it! 
• This course is offered exclusively online and will require your own access to a computer and an internet connection that is sufficient enough to stream video. 
• This course will consist of asynchronous video instruction, independent map problems, and access to a diverse group of CalTopo users from amongst member teams to answer questions and provide feedback when requested. 
• This course utilizes four tiers of instruction, designed to develop a brand new CalTopo user in to a competent CalTopo mapper. 
• Each tier concludes with an independent map problem. Solution keys are provided, and we highly encourage completion of the problem before review of the solution. 
• Completion of the course includes submission of feedback in Tier 4.
