The course covers topics such as vehicle dynamics, pursuit driving (where applicable and legally compliant, and with a strong emphasis on its limitations and risks), traffic laws and regulations specific to emergency vehicles, proper vehicle maintenance, and the use of warning devices.

Crucially, this course also delves into vehicle control techniques, including skid control, evasive maneuvers, and proper braking techniques, to ensure safe vehicle handling in emergencies. This online, self-paced format allows you to learn at your own convenience.

Important Note: This online course provides theoretical knowledge. Practical, hands-on driver training with a certified instructor is essential and legally required in most jurisdictions for actual emergency vehicle operations. This online course does not replace that requirement. It is designed to supplement and enhance practical training, not substitute for it. It is crucial that this online component be followed by practical, in-vehicle training with a qualified instructor.
