Training calendars in a small fire or EMS department get very inventive at times. An administrator or chief has to balance the needs of his department with the needs of the public. It’s easy to imagine overstretching people or having to leave holes in on-duty time while department members complete necessary hands-on and classroom training. Interactive online training presents a possible solution.
By allowing each member of the department access to ATS Online training materials and courses, instructors can track and ensure the department staff is ready with a base of knowledge to get out to the training exercise with a minimum of classroom time and preparation. Instructors can also use the online tracking to encourage personal initiative and accountability within their staff, which has a long-term positive net effect on small unit efficiency as well.
ATS Online products cover familiarization and in-depth training for firefighter basics all the way to incident command and management, allowing all levels of expertise within a department to train on their own so they hit the ground running and ready when that precious limited time window for group training opens up. The less time spent unnecessarily in the classroom, the better.
ATS Online now offers a per-user pricing option, which allows for new content updates as well as access to the existing units of study. This option is ideal for departments of five to 500 people.
Good instructors know the most effective time a department can spend is out working together. Please contact us and let us help you get out of the classroom and into the field as quickly and safely as possible.
