SERTC continues to deliver knowledge, skills training, experiences, and support that enable first responders to “level up” in their preparedness for all manners of surface transportation incidents. Here’s what we’ve heard from students recently:

From Leadership & Management of Surface Transportation Incidents (LMSTI) (28-Oct)

“I really enjoyed the class. Learning about documentation and utilizing the Incident Command (IC) structure. This class provided a lot of information for me to improve on and take back to our teams to incorporate with our practices.”

“The facilities and training grounds are an excellent source of training. They provide real life examples and opportunities to mitigate hazmat responses.”

“I really enjoyed the learning and getting to know the instructors. I’m planning on taking the highway course next year. I will definitely be back to SERTC for other classes and instruction in the future.”

From HazMat/WMD Technician for Surface Transportation (HWMDTST) (21-Oct)

“I would say that the hands-on training was very valuable. It was valuable to be able to work on actual highway and railway cars instead of using a training prop.”

“Great course. Awesome instructors who are down to earth and fun to be around. I came to SERTC with high expectation, and all were met, if not exceeded.”

“This was my first SERTC class, and I plan to come back and take all of the courses offered here. I also plan on bringing others from my Fire Department.”

From Highway Emergency Response Specialist (HERS) (14-Oct)

“Hands on training is invaluable. This place allows us to operate in real crash environments to better simulate the conditions we will face.”

“While my department does not do the type of transfers shown in this course, it provided valuable information and knowledge for me to see what we might encounter with contractors.”

“I am looking forward to completing SERTC’s AFFIRM course next….That class is something that we can all definitely benefit from, because as fire fighters at some point in our career we will be fighting alternative/flammable fuel fires.”
