Hi All
Im looking for input has anyone been to or sent someone from your department to a train the trainer program. If so what did you think of it and what program was it. Im looking specifically for train the trainer for vehiccle extrication not just a generic train the trainer course.
There are many of companies that will do train the trainer classes. If the train the trainer class is Todd Hoffmans from Texas, it is a class that is very well worth it. I organized one two years ago with him here in New York and we had 2 day and 1 night of training of just about anything you could think about with autoX, vehicle safety, and new vehicle tech. Todd is a member of FFN and he is on my friends list. Just drop by to click over to him, send him question if he isn't the the instructor for our class that you maybe hosting, and see if he'll come out to you.
FF Jesse Seeler is from my Department, and one of my goto guys in a pinch. He enjoyed the class and all the infromation from it. Here is a link to the instructors website: http://www.sceneoftheacident.org/
