911 TRAINING CHALLENGES•On the job training varies

dramatically in quality.

• Quality training can mean the difference between a positive outcome or not.

• Callers and responders rely on the knowledge and capabilities of 911 call takers.

• Training delivery methods have not changed enough.

19

TRAINING DELIVERY METHODS NEED TO ADAPT

20

GeographyAbility to

learn is often based upon geographic location of

center. Rural areas lose

out on third-party

training.

CostsTravel and logistical

expenses can be high.

Scheduling and

extraction implications. Budgetary concerns...

OptionsPart-time and

“fill-in” positions are

often overlooked.

Result is inconsistent standard of

care provided.

ConsistencyTrainer

providers need to provide

consistent high quality content to

ensure accurate

knowledge gain.

CompetitiveIn order to

attract quality staff (and

keep them) you must remain

competitive in ongoing

training and continuing education.

for training online in the PSAP.21
