Hosting your own DT4EMS™ course
 

Bring the E.V.E.N.T. (Escaping Violent Encounters National Trainers) to your location!

The DT4EMS/ EVE Instructor Course is a “Doctor Approved”, medically directed  40-hour course. It is both physically and mentally demanding.  We strongly suggest candidates evaluate their physical limitations prior to attending the course. 

The first two days of the course will be a DT4EMS-1 (E.V.E.) Course modeled by the EVENT (EVE National Trainers). These 16 hours may be a review for those who have attended the course in the past. The third day is “how” to teach Escaping Violent Encounters (E.V.E.). The last two days are all student teaching. In our experience this gives the instructor candidate the tools necessary to prepare for teaching E.V.E. at their agency.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, all candidates are considered Tier 3 and allowed to teach at their agency only.

Upon successful completion of the DT4EMS Instructor Course the candidate will be able to teach at his/her agency. The candidate is not an employee of DT4EMS L.L.C.

So there is no confusion please understand that all courses must be approved by DT4EMS L.L.C.. Each participant in an approved course must have course materials. DT4EMS L.L.C. does not set the fee an agency charges for any of the courses. The cost of materials (Course Review CD, Workbook and Certificate is $25.00).  Certificates may only be obtained from DT4EMS L.L.C. E.V.E. is approved for 16 CEU’s in several states.

It is strongly recommended the candidate review material on the www.dt4ems.com  website and forums. There are several articles/videos pertaining to Use of Force Laws, Force Levels, Elbow Control and scene safety. Having a basic understanding will help the candidate with their presentations.

There is homework involved. A laptop is truly essential for the class.

If it sounds as though the requirements are tough, well, they are.  DT4EMS’ Escaping Violent Encounters Course is designed to help an Fire/EMS or healthcare provider in four main areas. It is preparing the participant for mental, physical, legal and media battles when having to use force in defending themselves.

After successful completion, the candidate would coordinate and train EMS/Fire and health care providers how to escape violent encounters they face in the medical field (while maintaining a professional image).

We don't want bullies or tough guys. We are looking for people to train staff how important their safety truly is. In our www.dt4ems.com/forums  you will see news reports of assaults on EMS/Fire and healthcare providers from all over the world. Again,  it is strongly suggested  candidate(s) become familiar with the info located on the www.dt4ems.com homepage as well as the forums.

• Mats (martial arts, tumbling, wrestling etc.) for the floor. Schools, local police departments will usually allow you to borrow them.

• Kick Shields 1 ea per 3 students
