When active violence occurs, seconds count, and you can’t always wait for EMS to arrive. AVERT (Active Violence Emergency Response Training) gives you the confidence and tools you need to assess and react quickly in an active shooter situation, and how to apply stop the bleed practices during life-threatening bleeding situations. Once taught only to industry professionals, the content in AVERT has been specifically adapted for the public by medical and law enforcement experts. Unlike other training programs that focus solely on run, hide, fight techniques, AVERT uses a dynamic method to teach proactive awareness, how to react and protect yourself and others in a violent situation, and how to stop the bleed of severe injuries that are often a result of these occurrences.

AVERT is delivered in a “BLENDED” course format. This means participants will first receive online training introducing them to the subject. This will ensure preparedness for the instructor-led session. The instructor-led session lasts approximately three hours, is in-person, and includes dynamic hands-on training, realistic drills and education.
