Vector Solutions Offers Complimentary EMS Refresher Training for First Responders in Fight Against COVID-19

SAN DIEGO – Vector Solutions, a leader in eLearning and performance support solutions for public safety agencies and other crucial industries, is releasing more than 20 hours of complimentary EMS refresher training for first responders.

In the fight against COVID-19, EMS agencies across the country are calling for all possible support to help personnel serve communities, save lives and protect themselves. Many states are asking for retired medical professionals and first responders to return to work to assist with response to this unprecedented health crisis.

To support retired EMTs and paramedics returning to their service, Vector Solutions selected 20 of its most crucial EMS training courses and is releasing them through TargetSolutions’ online training management platform at no cost. The complimentary course lineup features dynamic content designed to help personnel prepare for the daily challenges of emergency response, stay safe from infection, and effectively treat sick patients.

“As our society battles against the COVID-19 outbreak, Vector Solutions is here to support our first responders on the frontlines in any capacity we can,” said Alex Berry, Executive Vice President for Vector Solutions. “By providing these EMS training courses at no cost, retired EMS professionals and other essential workers can refresh their knowledge of EMS fundamentals to better protect themselves and others.”

These EMS training courses were selected from TargetSolutions’ EMS course library, which features more than 250 hours of training accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Pre-Hospital Continuing Education.
