Prerequisites
- This is a train-the-trainer course, not a basic certification course. The course is not designed to teach the instructor candidate basic call-handling techniques. Instructor candidates should be previously trained or experienced at the basic level of emergency communications before taking this instructor-level course. Instructor candidates will learn methods of instruction rather than learning the basics of emergency medical dispatching.
NOTE: This course covers certification for one instructor. Included with the course is one manual for that instructor. This manual may not be reused with additional instructors for additional certifications.
