How to buy online training systems (eBook)

When fire departments face a budget crunch, firefighter training is often an early line item to be adversely affected. Training not only has its own costs, but it also has the opportunity cost of taking firefighters off the street. However, failure to train becomes a liability issue, so fire departments need alternative avenues to get their members trained – at lower costs.

One solution to which many departments are turning is online learning systems, which can offer ways to ensure that quality training is conducted at a reduced cost. However, as is the case when any new technology is introduced, there is a learning curve for those tasked with making the purchasing decision.
