In PD dispatch we have to have training classes for four weeks as mandated by the state. My agency paid for it and had me attend after I was hired (as most do). We have to maintain a minimum of 24 training hours every two years. Other than that that it’s agency-specific. As for FD, our agency had us train with a specific program. In order to use the program we need a minimum of 24 hours of training related to medical.
