The Field Training Officer (FTO) role is often one of the first leadership and professional development opportunities available to paramedics. However, many agencies assign paramedics to the FTO position with little formal preparation beyond their field experience. The three-day Basic FTO Course provides prospective FTOs with a comprehensive introduction to the structure, tools, techniques, and principles of the EMS Field Training and Evaluation Program (EMS-FTEP™).

Participants will receive instruction in adult learning theory, coaching and mentoring strategies, performance evaluation, effective feedback delivery, and trainee documentation. The course also provides hands-on training in the use of EMS-FTEP™ resources, including the Standardized Evaluation Guidelines, Recruit Training Manual, and Daily Observation Reports.


Our training center has relocated to our new unified headquarters at 2000 Salt River Road in St Peters.
