We currently offer two, 4-hour classroom presentations. One is designed primarily for emergency responders, while the second is for most other disciplines. Our instructors are some of the best in their fields in emergency vehicle operations, crash reconstruction, and/or professional based driving.

Additionally, we use a state-of-the-art driving simulator to reinforce concepts taught in the portion of the training or as a stand alone training tool. While the simulator will never replace the “rubber on the road feeling”, it provides an added dimension to driver training and allows for handling and corrective issues in emergency situations and countless other scenarios. Closed-course training provides an opportunity to teach evasive maneuvers and evaluate perception and reaction times, as well as braking responses for drivers.
