OAKHURST, Calif., June 22 CA-IMTC-NewCourses
OAKHURST, Calif., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The training news just got better for first responders, administrators in their agencies, and taxpayers: the 2009-2010 DHS-standard National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) team training program is now available to local agencies and cooperating jurisdictions directly from the DHS subject matter experts who developed the Type 3 and Type 4 team courses.
This direct classroom access to the DHS content and instructional experts offers first- line responders significant background information on instructional intent, on best practice development, and on the priority of various lessons learned. It enables vital, in-depth discussions about the rationale for content choices made in the curriculum development process. All of these critical components, according to Geoff Wilford, a co-founder of the Incident Management Training Consortium (IMTC), "deliver the training that agencies need with the trainers that responders want in a process that administrators can control."
He believes that, while uncertain budgets require more fiscal discipline and management control from public agencies than ever before, "this new situation also means that administrators are looking at both the transactional and total costs of budget items like training." Wilford says that ticking off a training checklist is less important now that delivered value is a higher priority, and there is wide agreement that "enabling better outcomes for responders in the field is where the highest training value is delivered."
IMTC's designer-direct instruction reduces the total cost of ICS training by "...getting it right and making it real the first time," says Wilford.
IMTC's best instructional practices have been developed collaboratively with the input of many years of Incident Command field experience and first responder instructional practice, according to Wilford. "We are field-focused, transferring mandated information and relevant supplemental experiences very efficiently, so participants can easily convert what we know into their own useful field knowledge. Our seasoned instructors recognize from their own experiences that All-Hazard Incident Command training is not useful unless it is relevant and accessible when needed under stress."
IMTC has delivered more All-Hazard NIMS/ICS team training than all other providers in the U.S. combined and is the only provider offering the full range of DHS-approved 2009-2010 courses. Based on those significant facts, IMTC's direct, instructional link to DHS curriculum development is the training first responders want, the training administrators need, and the training value that community leaders and taxpayers demand.
