Top 5 Benefits of Paramedic Training Videos

Paramedic training has adapted over the years in a variety of ways. The internet greatly changed the way most EMS students learn and grow. Later, shifts in public health, namely COVID-19, further impacted face-to-face instruction, dramatically limiting the frequency of in-person training programs. Paramedic training videos represent an opportunity to engage EMS students in interactive learning series without risks to public health or safety, but this isn’t the only benefit to this powerful training option. Check out these top 5 benefits of paramedic training videos.

 Affordable Entry Cost

The cost of delivering paramedic training via video is relatively affordable and may even be considered a “low” cost of entry by some educators when compared with the potential expenses associated with traditional, in-person education series. Paramedic training videos have a single cost associated with production and hosting of the video content, but once that cost has been absorbed, there are no other fees. Compared to the traditional costs of classroom or venue rent, instructor salary, equipment, and fees, paramedic training videos are very affordable.

 Same Lesson, Same Instruction

The consistency that comes from paramedic training videos versus in-person instruction is another huge benefit to this form of training. Paramedics receive the same level of instruction for each lesson so that there are no missed scenarios or altered details. This is important when it comes to delivering numerous lessons to numerous EMS students because missing or otherwise altering the message at hand could result in some serious problems later on.

Ease of Progress Tracking

Paramedic training videos can quickly and easily be tracked by the educator or upper management and supervisors. Instead of trusting that a student has read the entire manual, or having to wait for another learning opportunity if a student misses a classroom learning day, instruction progress is immediately available and easy to track. Supervisors can encourage students to engage more frequently if they begin to show signs of falling behind, and they have the power to set timelines or deadlines for learning initiatives to ensure instruction is received.

 Independent Learning

Paramedic training videos provide EMS students with independent learning opportunities in which they can continue to educate themselves. Offering paramedic training videos online allows students or EMS trainees to engage in the video content at their leisure, anytime, anywhere that they have an internet connection. There is no longer the need for students and instructors to be available at the same time to learn and train.

 A Customized Learning Opportunity

Paramedic training videos provide a customized learning opportunity for EMTs, paramedics, and those training into the industry. Instead of using pre-written curriculum which may exclude certain important elements of your training or which may include areas of training that are irrelevant to your students, when you work with Beverly Boy Productions to create paramedic training videos you can rest assured that your instruction has been prepared specifically with your EMTs in mind. 

Designing and customizing your video content ensures accuracy and delivery of learning initiatives that are most suitable to your needs including local protocols, simulated conditions and responses, and individual employee scope of practice as it applies to your workplace. 

These are just a few of the major benefits that come from producing paramedic training videos for your EMS students. Give Beverly Boy Productions a call today to learn more!
