CDP releases Virtual Instructor-Led Training schedule for March

The Center for Domestic Preparedness has released its Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) schedule for the month of March.

The schedule includes 50 offerings on a wide range of topics, from ‘Patient Management: Receiving a Highly Infectious Disease Patient’ and ‘Planning, Response, and Management of a Biological Pathogen or Agent Incident’ to ‘Social Media Strategies for Law Enforcement’ and ‘Field Medical Tactics during an Emergency Response to an Active Assailant Incident.’  VILT sessions typically run about one to two hours.

Responders can participate in the courses from work, home, or any other location using a computer or compatible mobile device capable of running Adobe Connect. A phone (landline or cellular) is needed to call into a phone bridge. Participation via the virtual classroom and the phone bridge is required to receive a certificate of completion.

To register, visit https://cdp.dhs.gov/vilt, select the desired course from the list, and click apply. Two business days prior to training you will receive an email with additional information about the course, to include the virtual classroom link and instructions, and the phone bridge number and pin.
