Registration link
Critical thinking is vital not only for effective delivery of emergency services, but as a lifelong learning skill necessary for students to excel as fire, rescue and EMS responders.

Powerful Presentations: Delivering Effective Communications, Comprehension and Calls to Action
Registration link
This program isn’t about PowerPoint tips and tricks (although some are included). Rather, it demonstrates effective communications and message delivery techniques, tools for successful student / attendee engagement, and presentation of a compelling “call to action” designed to motivate attendees to effect positive change.

“Many educators need to earn CECBEMS-accredited CE to maintain their educator credentials. These webinars will focus on educational methodology and be of interest to aspiring, new, and experienced educators,” said Greg Friese, CentreLearn’s director of education.

Seminars will run once per quarter and will feature instructor Rom Duckworth. With more than 20 years of experience as a career and volunteer fire officer, paramedic and hospital-based healthcare educator, Duckworth is a regular contributor to research programs, conferences, magazines, and textbooks on topics of field operations, leadership, education and career development in emergency services.

In addition to its free webinar series on EMS, firefighting and education methodology topics, personnel at CentreLearn customer agencies can choose from more than 200 hours of accredited training videos in CentreLearn’s library. CE courses can be accessed at any time, from any location with an Internet connection.

CentreLearn also offers access to its programs to individuals on a pay-per-view basis via RapidCE.com
