Got this from Secure Aspects.

This is a great course if you are working in PSD and want to increase your
chances of being hired as having recent emergency medical skills training,
if you had military trauma training but it has been years… you can update
your skills. If you are in the EP field, this is also a plus when Detail
Leaders are selecting team members or if you are working on your own as a
single protector you will have the extra knowledge and resume bullet that
may get you that client and make you more competitive in this tough market.



But don’t wait, this class may fill up.

I agree having your EMT certificate is really big in this business... I was a Paramedic for 12 years of experience.. Even though my certification has expired, when prospective employers see that they generally offer me a job.. .
