PARAMEDIC PROGRAM

As a pioneer in the development and deployment of advanced driver training simulation technologies, DriveWise has built custom driver training programs for hundreds of emergency vehicle operators. Our unique approach to training has led us to recognize the need for effective training solutions that can be delivered nationally to Paramedics.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Our customized 8 hour course for Paramedics instructs drivers in techniques, skills and attitudes required to safely operate an emergency ambulance vehicle. Our curriculum fulfills all relevant sections of the National Occupational Competency Profile for Paramedics (NOCP), with an emphasis on safe emergency driving techniques to ensure the safety of patients and paramedics. All lessons taught in the classroom are reinforced with training on the Driving Simulator and interactive quizzing.

DriveWise also offers approved “Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator” (CEVO) courses, and F Class vehicle training.
