Anyone who travels on glaciers outside of tour groups is (or at least should be) trained in crevasse rescue. That's part of the deal of being on a rope team, everyone can rescue everyone else if one of them falls into a crevasse. These are skills you can master within 5-10 hours of practice. It isn't knowledge restricted to professional mountain guides or SAR folk.
