Our certification equips instructors to teach various levels of students besides just first responders. These may include civilian personnel working in public safety, therapists and social workers, non-profit staff, high school students, training cadets, military, or spouses/family members of first responders.
Certification courses take place in Fort Worth, Texas over a period of 1-3 days. We offer travel and lodging arrangements that consider cost, quality, location, and safety.
CAN YOU RECEIVE TRAINING CREDITS?
Although we do not sponsor training credits towards your certification, we do provide the supplemental requirements if your department sponsors your credits. Please let us know you will be needing this prior to your training; there is no additional charge for this service.
