Very straight forward from logging on to tracking the progress of each firefighter.  As a Fire Chief I personally appreciate viewing our Firefighter progress and at the same time reviewing topics on a regular basis to refresh my personal knowledge and keep up with the latest firefighting techniques I may have missed. As each individual may have different goals in life or the firefighting industry, the Action Training program has been beneficial for my upcoming goal of Master Firefighter and an extremely valuable tool for identifying and producing those truly valuable individual leaders, and future leaders, within our department.  **We utilized the outstanding Texas Forest Grant opportunity** to obtain a thorough Fire Department Library with the addition of the Online Computer Based training available from Action Training. I don't believe there is a better combination or progressive set of individual firefighter training tools that can be made available to any level of Firefighter.”  ***Stan Wiggins - Fire Chief, Columbia Lakes VFD, ******West Columbia, TX*** ***![divider.jpg](https://info.action-training.com/hubfs/divider.jpg "divider.jpg")*** | |  [![Download:  3 Formats for ATS Training PDF](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/123391/a6e105a7-4801-4179-a5f8-3a1cd279b2d7.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/123391/a6e105a7-4801-4179-a5f8-3a1cd279b2d7)             | - Beginning Sept. 1, 2018, the training aid grant increases from $8,000 to $10,000 - Chartered, non-profit VFDs operated by its members are eligible - Any part-paid, part-volunteer fire department with 20 or fewer paid members is eligible - Cost-share assistance for the Training Aids program element is set at 100 percent of the actual cost not to exceed $10,000 - Now you can choose the ATS course format that works best for your training environment - Online Video Based Interactive courses, Streaming Video or DVDs - Some key points about ATS Online catalog subscriptions: - If any series is updated in the catalog you are subscribed to, you get the updated version at no additional cost for the remainder of your current subscription term - If new courses are added to the catalog you are subscribed to, you can request that we add these new courses to your account for the remainder of your subscription term at no additional cost |   ###### ABOUT US Action Training Systems is a multi-media production company.
