Want to bring DT4EMS’ industry-leading Train-the-Trainer program to your agency? Our Escaping Violent Encounters (E.V.E.) National Trainers (EVENTs) offer a comprehensive instructor course designed for EMS, fire, and healthcare professionals.
Many agencies recoup costs by offering available seats to outside participants. If your agency chooses to open slots for external attendees, DT4EMS will list your course on our national calendar and assist with recruitment.

The DT4EMS EVE Instructor Course is a doctor-approved, medically directed 40-hour program designed to prepare candidates for teaching Escaping Violent Encounters (E.V.E.) training programs.
The first two days involve an E.V.E. course led by DT4EMS National Trainers:
The third day (or second for EVEHP Instructor) focuses on teaching techniques, while the final two days are dedicated to student-led teaching sessions. This hands-on approach ensures instructor candidates develop practical skills and confidence in delivering the E.V.E. curriculum.
Note: Candidates cannot independently teach outside their agency until they have conducted several in-house training sessions and passed evaluation.
When teaching at their agency, instructors may invite participants from EMS, fire, or emergency departments.
DT4EMS maintains strict quality control to ensure high-quality instruction in a high-liability field.
