Probably the Active shooter incident management checklist because there is a lot of information on it and I can keep it with me.
If an outside training provider has to fly in every time you need active shooter training, readiness stalls. ASIM Basic Train‑the‑Trainer is an 8‑hour in‑person course that builds your internal ASIM trainers so you can train on your schedule, to one standard ASIM playbook across law, fire, and EMS.
Most agencies have a patchwork of active shooter training that changes every time a new outside training provider shows up. ASIM Basic Train-the-Trainer builds a single internal ASIM trainer team so every shift, station, and mutual aid partner learns the same checklist‑based incident management model. Your leaders get a common playbook and clear, defensible training records.
Use one vetted ASIM Basic curriculum and checklist so every officer, firefighter, and medic learns the same incident management process.
Stop waiting on outside calendars. With in‑house trainers, you can run ASIM Basic for new hires, promotions, and refreshers whenever your schedule and staffing allow.
Centralized tests and training records show exactly who has completed ASIM Basic and when — for leadership, unions, grants, and after‑action reviews.
ASIM Basic Train-the-Trainer is a single 8‑hour in‑person course for up to 20 trainer candidates drawn from law enforcement, fire, and EMS. Over the day, your candidates experience ASIM Basic as students, then step into the trainer role to teach modules, run practical exercises, and use the system that tracks who is trained and to what standard.
Trainer candidates take part in the ASIM Basic course, walking through the checklist, case examples, and guided practicals from the student perspective.
Candidates practice teaching key blocks, running Counterstrike™ practicals, giving feedback, and using the LMS to enroll students, score tests, and document training.
ASIM Basic Train-the-Trainer gives your people hands‑on confidence to both run ASIM Basic and answer hard questions from the line. Candidates leave having run scenarios, briefed mixed‑discipline groups, and seen exactly how the checklist performs under pressure.
Law enforcement, fire, and EMS trainer candidates work together so your ASIM trainer team reflects the way you actually respond.
Candidates use the Counterstrike™ Professional Training System to walk through active shooter and hostile event scenarios from first call to last transport.
Each candidate gets reps presenting course content, facilitating practicals, and debriefing exercises — with coaching from NCIER instructors.
We use a no‑fault coaching style that supports both seasoned instructors and first‑time trainers, keeping the focus on learning the ASIM model and how to teach it.
You keep the full ASIM Basic curriculum and tools so you can deliver internal ASIM Basic training as often as needed — with no per‑delivery training fee from NCIER for non‑commercial use.
Bring your future ASIM trainers into one room and leave with a unified team.
Hosts provide the training space, basic AV, and up to 20 trainer candidates from law enforcement, fire, and EMS. NCIER provides the ASIM Basic curriculum, instructor team, and all course materials.

Some of the exercises were chaotic and it was hard to keep track of what all was going on when trying to visualize the scene through chips- though I know there is really no other way to do the exercises without actually having a large scale mock event set up at a school or business.
Please provide any other comments or suggestions you have for improving this course.
There is a ton of information to cram into 4 hours and it would help if it was maybe 8 hours with more exercises.

Having a joint training with LEO was beneficial. I have no training as a LEO, so it was good to hear their thought process for these types of events.
Which part(s) of the course was LEAST valuable to you? Please explain why.
The hands-on portion was very disorganized. The class size was probably too large. Many people sat through the scenario and did nothing but sit in staging.
Please provide any other comments or suggestions you have for improving this course.
The instructors gave information that was not accurate. Some of the examples include: *A unified command was not utilized. When I said I would go to the command center to establish a unified command as the first arriving chief, I was told that was wrong. *We were told that EMS needs to transport all black tag patients. The point was re-enforced several times, so it was not a mistake. *We were told that the suspect should never be transported to the same hospital as any survivors went to. The instructor even said that if the suspect was a level 1 trauma (Red) that they should be taken to a different level 1 trauma center, 'even if that is 40 or 50 minutes further'.

The scenarios because seeing a simulation of what could happen helped better than learning off of a power point.

Information on the Power Point because it wasn't hands on.

The Practical Exercises allowed us to see all of the information flow into action. It was easier to process all the information involved with the checklist, after several practical exercises.
Which part(s) of the course was LEAST valuable to you? Please explain why.
The demonstration involving a "radio dispatch" using the checklist. The example was too fast and hard to follow, especially when it is presented towards the beginning of the training/presentation. It seemed very impractical.
Please provide any other comments or suggestions you have for improving this course.
Slow down the training a little bit, explaining more points thoroughly (i.e. investigative, staging, etc.). This will allow trainers time to prepare a better presentation incorporating department policies from their respective areas/districts/counties.

The practical exercises. Coming into this course with very little knowledge of the terminology used, the verbal and printed information was difficult to follow and understand. Once the practical exercises began, it all came together and began to make sense.

Finding a way for this type of program to work well in smaller jurisdictions. I can see how and why it would work better with large jurisdictions and agencies, but in smaller municipalities not so much. A vast majority of the responders won't know the geography well enough to communicate or understand the communication of locations. EX. How would the 5th responder who will not be from the jurisdiction have any idea of where they might be able to establish a staging area.
