The Basics Bundle

An Overview of Introductory Dispatch Skills

If you are just starting out in your dispatch career and want a little extra training or want an introduction before starting a dispatch position, this is the perfect course. This bundle of courses provides introductory information over dispatching. You'll learn the basics of call taking and what questions should be asked in all calls, what information is important to document, and an overview of using the radio.

In order to keep the information to an amount that can be completed in only a couple sittings, this course is designed to be an overview of these aspects of dispatch versus an in-depth look. It provides a strong foundation on which to continue to build your dispatching skills.
