  • "I just wanted you to know how great our first ATT class went. Kudos to the people who set this up. I also want you to know how everyone agreed that the online 2-hour portion was an excellent review of the trauma material they needed to know. Part one (online) could be done while at work. Managing the class online was also a breeze.
     
    We also loved the fact that the coordinators could tailor the class to the audience. My class was mostly training and supervisor personnel, so we did more challenging things, like airway practice and technique. Most importantly, in these hard economic times, it was great to have 8 of the 10 total hours of class time completed in one day...since two hours were completed before they came to the classroom.
     
    It's a great course. I can't wait to run more and more of them!"

  • I was very impressed by the layout of the course. The pre-course module was simplistic, making it easy to follow. The book was very well put together with information and great illustrations.  The Controversial Sections are a fantastic idea and really is very interesting reading.  I learned a lot from this course.  After more than thirty years (30) as an EMS provider, I can tell you that this is the best trauma course I have ever taken.  I look forward to more opportunities to be affiliated with this program.

  • I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed this class. It had a great pace, kept the students engaged, less paperwork, relevant topics and kept the student interest and involvement throughout the entire day. The online format and the one day course is much easier to put on...and I, as an instructor do not feel worn out by the process. The students, who had a long week, were not worn out by the process. Thank you for a wonderful course.  I’m sold on it and will be using it in my future Paramedic Classes.

  • "I recently completed coordinating and teaching my first ATT course. The response by the students was exceptional. They enjoyed the precourse online class as it cut down on class time. The in-class time was informative and provoked a lot of thought and discussion - many thought the day just flew by! The department's training director was also pleased with the cost savings compared to other formal trauma courses."
