| Class will begin

| This curriculum
which is delivered to emergency
workers utilizing a virtual
driving simulator to reinforce
the topics of the course.
This program is developed
by making use of a combination
of existing programs and case
studies which have resulted
in damage and injury. The
primary goal of Get Evolved
program is to educate emergency
workers on the proper driving
techniques and hazards which
are encountered while responding
emergency vehicles. The course
is split into two segments.
The first segment (half of
class) is cognitive learning
in a classroom environment.
The second segment (half of
class) consists of cognitive
and psychomotor learning in
which the students are split
in half to allow for the students
to drive in the simulator
while the other half review
case studies. The second segment
is separated by one hour blocks
to allow for the students
to have adequate time frames
in driving and reviewing the
case studies. The course consists
of topics such as roll over
prevention, intersection safety,
soft shoulder reaction, driving
in adverse conditions, reaction
to uncontrollable environments,
reaction times, and many more
topics which can not be taught
while operating an apparatus
on the roadway. Delivery of
the class is by qualified
fire and rescue instructors
from Skyland Fire Rescue who
have developed the program
for emergency service personnel. |
