The EVOC Academy

Emergency vehicle operator training combines online coursework with an in-person driving evaluation. Students complete the required academics at their own pace, then attend a scheduled practical assessment with an instructor in Tampa. Classes prepare EMTs, paramedics, and public safety personnel for EVOC operator certification. The training is hybrid, with online didactic instruction and behind-the-wheel skills evaluation. The academy also offers an EVOC Instructor Train-the-Trainer course, delivered online and based on the U.S. DOT National Standard Curriculum. An agency program lets fire departments and EMS agencies certify instructors and train drivers in-house, with instructor seats, provider training, an annual refresher, and a custom training portal. Its specialties are emergency vehicle operations and EVOC instructor education. Tampa is one of its Florida class locations.
