Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Hello to everyone in the group. My name is Hal Weese & I'm an ETTO with Metro Nashville Emergency Communications in Nashville, TN. I've got a problem which I really need some input on. We recently (within the past year) consolidated our center & needless to say, there's a lot of training to be done. We have made quite a bit of progress but it seems like a game of " catch-up. " Not only are we training seasoned Police dispatchers to Fire / EMS dispatch, we continue to bring on new-hires for calltaking & this month marks the first Police dispatch class in over a year. As you all know, the documentation of training is very important in our profession. Here's my problem. We are currently using what is in my opinion, an antiquated computer program in which to document evaluations. It is pretty general in nature and combines calltaking, EMD & radio training...all in the same eval, but does not have the capability of being tailored to concentrate on one single phase of training. It's not the first program we've tried and hopefully won't be the last. What I want is some input from those of you in the group on how evaluations are done in your agency & if you are happy with what you use. I'm looking for anything in which to make our job as training officers a little easier without sacrificing the quality of evaluations. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Hal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
