ATS Online – Interactive Courses
Online Interactive Courses
Our Online Interactive courses for firefighter and EMS training are standards-based and designed to be utilized as instructor-directed resources both in and out of the classroom.
We believe that videos should NOT replace hands-on training, but instead be used as a tool for the instructor to engage students and to support and enhance essential education.

Flip the Classroom!

Or, they may assign absentees and other personnel these courses as makeup assignments or to satisfy regulatory requirements for recurrent training or continuing education credit.
