TRAINING OFFICER'S TOOLBOX: COMPUTER-BASED TRAINING
08/03/2015
By Brian Ward
In our previous training bulletin, "Generations," we discussed how to involve different generations of firefighters and manage their diverse skill sets.
One of the methods for doing this is to leverage the strengths of your Gen X and Y firefighters, which is technology. Discuss with your crews the pros and cons of using technology. There are many benefits, however do not fall into the trap where it becomes your everything.
As for the training chiefs, consider how you are collecting and storing records, and learning management platforms for delivering instruction.
