THE TRAINING SEMINARS WILL BE HELD AT:
The Q’STRAINT Facility

Oakland Park, Florida

Day 1 features classroom and hands-on instruction from 8am-4pm, followed by dinner and an evening reception.

Day 2 runs from 8:00am-12:30pm.

Attendees are asked to arrive 1 day prior to the start of training and can schedule departing flights for 3pm or later on the second day.

The seminar is a master class covering nearly every aspect of wheelchair transportation, including standards and regulations, liability management, securement equipment innovations, securement principles, procurement, troubleshooting difficult mobility devices, and policies and best practices aimed at dramatically enhancing passenger safety and reducing risk.

Our focus is on training attendees to apply the knowledge they acquire to solve real-world securement and transportation issues, and to implement policy changes and best practices that have the potential to transform their organization’s transportation of passengers with disabilities.
