Question Search & Rescue Training

Hello,
I was just wondering if you experts out there could help me with some questions I have.
I am possible thinking of perusing a career in the search and rescue industry. Hopefully as Rear Crew (Winchman/Winch Operator).
But I would not want to join the military. Is there any civilian training to qualify for this role? If so how much does this sort of training cost?
And what sort of fitness level do you need, I believe it is a Class 2 Medical but I am unsure about that.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Shetlander
