Announcing VFIS Web-based Training
In our continuous efforts to improve safety and operations in the fire and EMS services through education, training, risk management and insurance programs, VFIS has joined forces with St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, PA in the development of a distance-learning program.
VFIS is pleased to announce that our distance-learning site, vfis.sju.edu, is now live.
Check out these valuable programs in our initial release:
- Privately Owned Vehicle Driving Safety (our full training program including videos)
- Firefighter Safety (our basic firefighter safety program)
- Sexual Harassment Prevention (designed as a refresher program for annual compliance with required harassment prevention training)
- Bloodbourne Pathogens & Infectious Disease (designed as a refresher for annual OSHA compliance)
These courses are designed to be taken in your location and at your convenience. In many cases, courses have the capability to allow you to include your department’s specific guidelines and officer sign-off. Our distance-learning courses offer everything you would find in the classroom, minus, of course, the actual instructor. You will receive a certificate of course completion upon passing the online assessment.
Clients should call VFIS at (800) 233-1957, ext. 7964, to confirm status as a client and obtain an access code. There is no cost for VFIS clients.
Without question, distance learning is the method of education and training for the future, and VFIS is now poised to offer programs in this fashion as well as traditional classroom training.
For details on this, contact your VFIS sales executive or education and training staff.
Your organization should review the VFIS risk control and training materials and make the necessary modifications to meet your organization's needs. The intent of this material is to assist you in reducing exposure to the risk of injury, harm, or damage to personnel, property, and the general public.
