Effective Communications Training Officer Program
An innovative training program for a Communication Center is an essential component for the telecommunicator trainee to be successful. The effectiveness of this program will solely be based upon your dedication and the department’s commitment to the program. Each must have a full understanding of the program along with the roles and responsibilities to improve the quality of telecommunicators that go through this program. Training programs need to focus on performance and have a system to effectively evaluate and document performance. Such training programs are known as performance based training programs and have become the standard for the emergency communication industry.
This course will give an overview of an Effective Communications Training Officer Program, review the ANSI standard and provide information on how to start implementation in your department.
