DISCOVER DRILLS

Use Drills to Track all Fire House Training Activities Every month, firefighters complete hours and hours of training in the classroom, on the training ground, or standing around a truck or engine in the apparatus bay. The CentreLearn feature, Drills, is a simple method to track all of those training activities. Drills has powerful reporting features for training activities including:

Summary Report – completed Drills and Drills details by user Drills Category Summary – hours earned in each category for user

Drills categories are specific to your agency, and firefighters can be given permission to enter Drills information for other users. This allows the company officer to capture any training completed by the members of their company. Contact us for more information on Drills.
