Poulsbo, WA October 25, 2011--As our first responders put their lives on the line, a high degree of
training is crucial—not only for the patients they serve, but for their own
safety as well. Action Training Systems is releasing an interactive series of
competency-based courses to prepare our responders for real-life emergencies
where seconds count.
It’s no accident that Americans are served by the best EMS system in the
world. The National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards (NEMSES)
define the minimum competencies required of all EMS personnel. Action Training
Systems builds entire innovative training systems that help emergency responders
train to NEMSES to ensure they meet this competency level.
This Emergency
Medical Responder series will cover a wide variety of topics such as primary
patient assessment, cardiovascular emergencies, treating head and spine
injuries, orthopedic trauma, bleeding control and will review the new 2010 CPR
guidelines.
Action Training Systems uses real EMS personnel to ensure the integrity and
authenticity of the skills that are demonstrated. All programs are developed and
reviewed by leading subject matter experts.
Responders that train to the EMR standard include firefighters, police
officers, private ambulance companies, campus response teams and the Coast
Guard. Other first-on-scene professionals that often seek this level of training
include park rangers, utility workers, teachers, private security, bus drivers,
pilots, flight attendants, airport personnel, athletic trainers, search and
rescue personnel, ski patrol, lifeguards and camp counselors.
Action Training Systems is a multimedia development company and worldwide
leader in providing innovative training systems for emergency responders. ATS
provides training series for EMS personnel, municipal
firefighters and the industrial
fire brigades that protect our refineries, energy facilities, chemical
plants and manufacturing facilities.
The company provides a dynamic curriculum that includes exceptional video
demonstrations on DVD and interactive computer-based training (CBT) programs on

their community.
