EMS Education

Capricorn runs customized monthly and quarterly EMS refresher courses for several agencies in the Reno-Tahoe area. These classes are authentic, fun, funny and meaningful. One Chief said, "Wow, I've never seen these guys so engaged in a class before!" That's what we aim for!

The classes are typically 2 hour sessions filled with simulations, skills stations, case studies, and game-based learning. No lectures here.

EMS classes can be created and tailored to the topics you need your crews to improve on.
