Lessons
Work through them in order. Each one ends with a knowledge check that records your progress.
Readiness Is a System, Not a Cabinet
Why equipment is not preparedness, what readiness is actually made of, who owns it in the practice, and why requirements change at the state line.
Start this lesson →Assigning Roles Before You Need Them
The one page written response plan, roles assigned by position, what the 911 caller needs in front of them, and where the plan has to live to be useful.
Start this lesson →The Equipment, and Proving It Works
Equipment categories as assets, compressed gas handling and storage, AED consumables, the emergency kit as a dated inventory, and a check log that survives scrutiny.
Start this lesson →Drills That Are Worth Running
Drill design that tests the system, three short drills that fit inside a huddle, running one without alarming the waiting room, and keeping the certification roster.
Start this lesson →Documentation, Reporting and the Review Afterward
The two records and who owns each, reporting obligations described as shapes rather than deadlines, restocking, and a review that produces one real change.
Start this lesson →How this course works
Work through the lessons in order. Each one ends with exercises you can do in your own office and a few short questions to check yourself. Answer the check and the lesson is recorded as done, in this browser, with no account involved.
Finish every lesson and you can print a completion record for this course. The course also counts toward the certifications, which are the larger thing: several courses plus a timed comprehensive exam, ending in a certificate whose reference code anyone can verify.
