In person training is on the decline.

It feels EMS providers prefer to take on-line classes. It’s a trend over the last few years.

Well, we think people should stop taking the easy course, actually get outside, and challenge themselves. We don’t lower our standards. We don’t compromise. We don’t award you a course completion certificate if you don’t pass the test. We won’t compromise our standards. We aren’t for everyone. The guys in our latest TECC class crushed it beyond expectations.

A special thank you to Naples Fire Rescue and Regions Vocational Center for the venue and role players.
