Ep 129: What's New in ASIM Basic

The most valuable part of Active Shooter Incident Management (ASIM) Basic has always been the hands-on scenarios, so the updated course is built to give you more of them. With most of the lecture now carried by the free ASIM QuickStart course, which is a prerequisite, students arrive already sharing the fundamentals, and class time focuses on running the process. In this episode of the Active Shooter Incident Management Podcast, Bill Godfrey and Kevin Nichols walk through what changed. After a short opening that hits the high points and goes a little deeper on a few topics, the class moves into three prescribed scenarios, up from two, with time for a fourth. Those scenarios are now scripted in the trainer manual, so every class, in any state, runs the same standard and objectives. The thinking is simple: consistency is what produces quality. For agencies that want to sustain training in-house, the ASIM Basic Train-the-Trainer has been rebuilt. Because the foundation is front-loaded and the scenarios are scripted, it is now a single eight-hour day instead of two, and it qualifies up to twenty trainers at once, double the previous number, with everything they need to start teaching the next day. The course package is now a browser-based download that runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux and includes the participant guide, trainer guide, and course design document for CEU and POST submissions. And every current trainer can take a free update, eleven short modules in about an hour and fifteen minutes, that recertifies their credential for another three years.
