The Safest And Most Effective Training For Emergency Responders, Period.

Knowing how to get it done is as important as knowing what to do. EMS responders need to be prepared to evaluate an incident, identify hazards, determine a course of action, and clearly communicate the plan—often under difficult conditions. Paramedics need experience constantly re-evaluating their plans if the initial course of action is not working.

FAAC is dedicated to the highest fidelity in modeling and simulation technology, providing real experience for your drivers and EMTs in lifelike virtual environments. FAAC works with you to develop your optimal training solution to meet your training objectives and budget.

Focus on Fundamentals: Driving and Response

The first step to any EMT or paramedics delivering emergency healthcare services is getting to the scene safely and as quickly as possible. Driver training sims like FAAC’s interactive EM-1000 EMS driver training simulator immerse students in realistic scenarios and literally place them in the ambulance driver’s seat with custom cab simulators. Instructors can vary settings to emulate real-life hazards like traffic, weather, and road conditions. Students will get practice responding to calls and handling these challenges while acclimating to apparatus operation. Sim training delivers conditions for EMS first responders to develop safe, confident driving skills that will become second nature. There’s no time for indecision in a crisis.

Once a trainee arrives on the scene, how will they respond to an emotionally intense emergency scenario, when every decision affects outcomes? Effective response training should be interactive and hands-on, so students can practice on-the-spot decision-making. As in real-life crises, the EMS Response Simulator triggers different outcomes based on an instructor-driven decision tree: students will experience the consequences of every action, command, and decision, and will practice responses in the context of their previous actions.

Our Mobile Training Units are customized to your apparatus specifications. Simulators, HVAC, wiring, controls, and insulation will match your specific needs and are available in both commercial and military-grade training options. FAAC mobile training units offer any of our driving or interaction simulators while affording greater deployment flexibility.

Driving and response simulations deliver instant feedback to students—but that’s only half the benefit of sim training. After action review is the other half. With FAAC driving simulators, the instructor can use the VITALS After-Action Scenario Review to walk the student back through each decision they made, and allow them to objectively assess their own performance.

Meet Training Objectives

Emergency Response Continuum of Training: Multiple Simulators, Many Participants, One Scenario

Delivering the highest-quality emergency healthcare requires mastery and integration of several different skill sets. Trainees must isolate and execute safe driving skills while expertly operating emergency apparatus, and their decisions and judgements must become conditioned reactions. On the scene, first responders must manage the scene by developing a response strategy and efficiently and effectively communicating their plan of action. Rescue is always the ultimate objective at critical scenes.

The FAAC Continuum of Training meets all these training goals using a multi-disciplinary library of simulators and scenarios capable of hosting complex multiple-participant exercises.

The inCommand Incident Management Simulation offers full-immersion, full-engagement training in a library of scenarios that range from simple to complex. Individual FAAC simulators can be networked into a single scenario that plays out as it would in the field, giving EMS trainees the opportunity to practice integrating essential skill sets so they can confidently manage a scene or transfer control of the scene.
