Welcome to the official home of the nationally recognized Certified Emergency Vehicle Operator (CEVO) training programs. For decades, fire departments, ambulance services, and public safety agencies have trusted the CEVO curriculum to improve operator skills and reduce the risks inherent in emergency response.
Our courses provide the critical knowledge needed for ambulance and fire apparatus operators to drive safely and effectively, protecting themselves, their vehicle, their crew, and the public.
CEVO® is a specialized Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC) that utilizes the proven, participant-based “Coaching” method. Rather than a simple lecture, our training encourages discussion and deep engagement with the material. The primary objective of the CEVO program is to prevent collisions by training operators to recognize potential hazards and act defensively. It is the gold standard for emergency vehicle driver training.
We offer distinct training paths for ambulance and fire apparatus operators, including both classroom instruction and practical, hands-on maneuvering skills.
CEVO certification is granted upon the successful completion of a CEVO course administered by a qualified instructor or training agency. Our course materials are sold as Instructor Kits to fire and EMS departments, who then conduct the training and issue certifications to their personnel.
EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operator Course) is the general term for this type of training. CEVO is a specific, nationally recognized brand and curriculum of EVOC training developed by the National Safety Council and Coaching Systems. It is one of the most widely used and respected EVOC programs in North America.
The core CEVO 4 and 5 programs are designed as in-person, instructor-led classroom courses using our comprehensive Instructor Kits. This format encourages critical group discussion and participation. Please contact your agency’s training officer to arrange a class.
