DISCOVER DRILLS
Use Drills to Track all Fire House Training Activities
Every month, firefighters complete hours and hours of training in the classroom, on the training ground, or
standing around a truck or engine in the apparatus bay. The CentreLearn feature, Drills, is a simple
method to track all of those training activities. Drills has powerful reporting features for training activities
including:
Summary Report – completed Drills and Drills details by user
Drills Category Summary – hours earned in each category for user
Drills categories are specific to your agency, and firefighters can be given permission to enter Drills
information for other users. This allows the company officer to capture any training completed by the
members of their company. Contact us for more information on Drills.

Educator Methodology Webinar (for EMS and fire educators)
Student-Centered Education In The Digital Age: New Paradigms in Education for New Tools in the
Classroom

2. Tuesday, June 4, 2013 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM ET
Web and mobile technology already give EMS students and experienced field providers greater
accessibility and flexibility in the way that they connect with information. Student-centered teaching
methods encourage learners to process and apply information in the same ways that they will need to or
already do as field providers. This program explores not just tools, tips, and tricks, but methods to
fundamentally transform the “user experience” by emphasizing dynamic application of knowledge through
student-centered education methods and activities.
