Ten reasons to switch to FRTI
Whether you are currently teaching First Aid, CPR, O2 and related courses through another organization or are looking to get into it for the first time, First Response Training International (FRTI) is the better choice. Here’s why.
1 Online academics result in more efficient use of time
Most people hate sitting through lectures. And with good reason: They’re boring. They are also among the least effective way for students to master academic knowledge.
Research shows that well-structured eLearning courses provide the best way to master cognitive skills. They are also a lot more enjoyable.
With FRTI, knowledge development takes place entirely through eLearning. Students master essential background information before arriving for class. This allows you to use time more effectively. Why? You get to devote nearly all your time to hands-on, practical application.
2 Video-based eLearning
Most people hate to read. They will do anything they can to avoid it. As a result, text-based learning programs result in lower comprehension and retention. This is coupled with the fact text-based programs, no matter how well written or illustrated, cannot convey information as well as videos do.
FRTI’s eLearning program are entirely video-based. This results in more effective learning. Students also find it a helluva lot more enjoyable than having to read. Here is an example:
3 Materials your students can relate to
For lack of a better word, most traditional First Aid/CPR courses can be characterized as stodgy. Even those with videos come across like 1950s public safety films.
In contrast, FRTI’s eLearning videos feature people and situations your students can relate to. As a result, your students can more easily see themselves being part of the action. This, too, results in more effective learning.
4 Easy to teach
FRTI courses are absurdly easy to teach. After a quick review of your student’s eLearning course reports, you move immediately into practical application. All you do here is go through the student record one skill at a time. Once students demonstrate mastery of each skill, you’re done. It’s that simple.
5 Competitive pricing
Whatever you teach, you want most of the money you collect to end up in your hands, not those of your training organization. FRTI eLearning and other materials are very competitively priced. They allow for better margins and more money in your pocket.
6 Streamlined student registration
Registering students with FRTI is easy. If you teach with SDI or TDI, the process is nearly identical. You students actually enter their contact information for you when they register for eLearning. As a result, certifying students requires little more than a few mouse clicks.
7 Affordable student IDs
Successful students will need proof of training. FRTI gives you a choice. You can issue traditional plastic cards or modern digital ones. While the plastic cards are competitively priced, the digital-only option costs just a fraction of this and are all most students need.
8 OSHA and ILCOR compliant
FRTI courses meet or exceed all international standards for First Aid and CPR training. They comply with both OSHA and ILCOR requirements. As a result, you can teach with confidence.
9 Widely recognized
FRTI training is recognized by a wide variety of governments and organizations. This includes the United States Coast Guard. You need have no anxieties as to whether employers and others will recognize your students’ training.
10 Unparalleled customer service
