EVALUATING THE TRAINEE IN DISPATCH

"If it isn’t written, it didn’t happen"

Performance evaluations are an important and crucial part of the training process in dispatch. For some people, the approach writing them is a mystery. Where to begin? What needs to be covered? Am I documenting too much? Too little?

This class includes little instructor presentation; rather, the instructor facilitates the process which allows the student to practice and demonstrate their ability to evaluate and provide ongoing, constructive feedback along with timely written evaluations. Listen and learn with class participation. Hands on evaluations written and critiqued along with your peers in class. Receive hints and tips on the different types of evaluations.

What Others Have Said About This Course:
