Commenting on the initiative, EMS Supervisor of Training and Transportation, Morvin Fiedtkou expressed his pleasure with the venture, saying that it all bodes well with the department’s plan to become a better and more efficient entity.
“EMS is looking to continue the education process of its staff, so our shift leaders will be undergoing the supervisory management course and we are doing this so that the current department leaders will have some more experience and practical knowledge on how to run the operation and be a more efficient service”, Fiedtkou said.

The event will be under the supervision of Instructor Shirlene Nibbs and the curtains will come down on the exercise on Thursday April 21st.
Dean of the University Mr. Ian Benn said that the campus was more than willing to help the people of Antigua and Barbuda in any capacity.
“The EMS approached the Open Campus with a proposal to offer certification in the Emergency Medical Technicians` Basic and Advance Programs and the Open Campus is very pleased to serve the Community in which it exists”, Benn said.
According to EMS Director, Shawn Greenidge, the EMS-UWI partnership will not be a one-time event, because as of September 2016, there will be another collaborative effort between the two bodies for an Emergency Technician Refresher Training Course for Basic and Advance Level.
Over a dozen EMT’s will participate in the February to April training course.
