PFEMS & CFEMS Leaders Launch Inaugural Cohort of Director of Athletic Safety℠ Credential
Read Press Release..."I had high hopes for this class, and my expectations were greatly surpassed."
"It has always been wild to me that I am responsible for fitting the helmets of our hundred million dollar assets with no football-specific certification. We are taking the first steps towards that recognizable credential through this class."
"The DAS is an excellent opportunity to separate myself from the rest of the department. The professors are very knowledgeable about the information presented and have a very fun and interactive way of getting the information through."
"I felt like it went from a risk management, clipboard-in-hand type role trying to bust EQMs for things that 'will never happen' to an active team member communicating clearly so everyone is safe."
"I really enjoyed this course. It was eye-opening and informative. I am grateful that I was able to be in the inaugural class. The things that I learned will help me in my professional and personal life immediately."
"This was a great course, it definitely taught me something new and something that can elevate our program as a whole in the near future."
