Hello there, I’m a retiree, but am still active as a volunteer in the maritime coastal SAR space – west coast; former Great Lakes coast guard 1st responder; crew trainer officer / SAR instructor (non-paramedic); human factors engineering undergrad & biz school masters. Did a remote marine casualty care program in Wales in 2019 where the rigid hull inflatable rescue boat was invented. Ex-Nordic ski patroller and winter mountaineer who attended IKAR at Banff; sea kayak tour leader. Could the student tuition be something that a >65 y.o. lifelong learner can possibly take advantage of? Thanks for consideration.
