Below is a list of needs required to host a Auto Extrication with Patient Care Focus Course.

• Logistical needs for Classes
• Classroom for 32 students
• Projector/screen and AV needs for power point presentation, (I have projectors if needed)
• Dry Erase board and markers
• Coffee maker I can supply coffee and cups if needed.
• We will supply water and lunch for all three days.
• Cars and needs for Extrication setups
• (1) As New a car as possible to use for vehicle anatomy and modern techniques demonstration. Prefer at least a few air bags intact to use for demonstrations. With wheels and engine intact.
• Minimum of (25) passenger vehicles, variety of vehicles is fine, prefer at least half or more be 4 door vehicles to maximize tool time. Class is much better if they still have wheels and hoods on them. Damaged vehicles are fine, we will be damaging vehicles for class.
• 1 larger vehicle ie delivery truck, bus, F-550 or larger to use for under ride and override scenarios.
• 4 K rails or concrete dividers to use as obstructions
• Couple heavy objects ie poles, concrete slabs, beams etc to lift off of cars.
• Many things can be substituted depending on availability.
• Loader or large skid steer for setting up scenarios. We can rent one if local yard doesn’t have one, we can use.
• We have vendors bringing in equipment for class in addition to what we have. If you have a tool or piece of equipment you would like to see let me know and we will try to get it there if possible.
• If you have any tools or equipment you would like us to use to train your people, we would be happy to incorporate it into as many scenarios as possible.
• Extinguishers or fire suppression apparatus for standby in case of emergencies.
