Fire Truck Driver Training Course
The fire truck driver training course was officially launched in the early 90s under the CEVO program by from Coaching Systems, along with courses for ambulance and police personnel. A newly revised and updated fire truck training course has been recently introduced, thanks to the input from risk management experts, participants, and instructors.
As the initial fire truck driver program, the CEVO 3™ takes a participant-focused and intensive non-lecture educational approach. The program is flexible and straightforward for instructors. The 6-hour training program is split into five sessions and can be taken in one or several days depending on the instructor’s or participant’s preference.
New Features:
- New and up-to-date situation analysis response book
- Reminder points for Coaching in the response book
