Fire & EMS Departments
Return on Investment
Join other organizations that are saving substantially in training costs per year. Traditional training can cost thousands annually for each employee because of fuel, overtime, personal and employee expenses. Online training is a convenient and cost-effective way to enhance your department's training initiatives. Courses can be taken at the station, from home or wherever an internet connection is available.
For example: An average Canadian fire department with 100 firefighters to train could have their Training Officer spend up to 25 hours annually reviewing and marking just one test! This translates into over half a week of time and salary expended. Departments using TargetSolutions' Custom Test builder have let the system grade the tests and send the records to the employee's training file.
Your department has the ability to reduce fuel & paper consumption by switching to an 'environmentally friendly' training alternative. One large Fire Department of 1400 employees’ projects a 40% fuel consumption reduction by training their staff in the station instead of a centralized training facility. Similar cost savings could be experienced in smaller departments when staff need to travel to a central location to take their training. By implementing TargetSolutions you can have a positive impact in reducing your Carbon Footprint!
Many Volunteer and Career Fire Departments are challenged to properly document the training that has been delivered to their personnel. Documenting the "sign off" and employee understanding of SOPs and SOGs proves especially onerous.....especially when stations are located some distance apart. TargetSolutions solves these problems by allowing reports to be run of completed training and SOP assignments as well as any delinquencies in these areas. Because TargetSolutions is web-based this means you can run reports and make assignments to your staff wherever the internet is available!
