Ascenttra's instructors aren't academics — they're emergency managers, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and hospital emergency managers with decades of field experience. Every course we deliver is immediately applicable to the job your people actually do.
When resources change but requirements don't, Ascenttra provides scalable training that meets your staff where they are — and takes them where they need to be.

Ascenttra develops your internal training capacity. We build the curriculum, train your instructors, and leave your organization able to deliver the course independently — over and over again.
Ascenttra has developed custom courses for hospitals, emergency services, critical infrastructure owners and operators, private industry, and government agencies at every level. If a course doesn't exist for your specific environment, we design one.
Our custom curricula process starts with your objectives — your hazard profile, your plans, your audience's current knowledge level. We design from the ground up, validate with subject matter experts, and deliver a course your people can actually use.
Every custom course includes facilitator guides, participant materials, and a train-the-trainer option so your investment compounds over time.
Scenarios, examples, and exercises use your jurisdiction's real threats — not generic national examples.
Course content reflects your actual policies and procedures — so training and operations reinforce each other.
From a 2-hour awareness session to an 80-hour certification course — built to your schedule and budget.
Custom training integrates directly with Ascenttra exercise design — so what you train is what you exercise.
I have been involved in police, fire service and emergency management training for the last twenty years. I have attended many classes and been an instructor as well. I share this not to speak of me but to make it clear I have attended and presented many, many classes. Ascenttra has by far the best instructors I have ever encountered!
