The Telly Awards receives over 13,000 entries annually from the finest ad agencies, production companies, TV stations, interactive media agencies and corporations around the world. It is a remarkable achievement to be selected for recognition. Action Training Systems’ winning program was judged in the category, “Non-Broadcast Productions - Education (for academic use).”
The Vehicle Extrication series includes 10 training programs that teach to the current National Fire Protection Association standards, including NFPA 1001: Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications, NFPA 1006: Standard for Technical Rescuer Professional Qualifications and NFPA 1670: Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents.
