Deeper Integration Between TargetSolutions and Evaluations+ Brings New Insight into Crew Readiness

For fire and EMS organizations, readiness goes beyond what crews know cognitively; it includes how well they perform under real-world conditions. Classroom instruction and online courses are essential, but they only tell part of the story. True readiness relies on live skills training, such as ladder drills, EMS precepting, task books, and hands-on coaching that happens in the bay, on the training ground, and in the field.

TargetSolutions and its integrated live skills mobile app, Vector Evaluations+, answer the challenge of connecting critical knowledge with essential skills that keep crews safe and ready. Together, they provide agencies with holistic insight into preparedness.

A Strong Foundation for Skills-Based Training

For more than 25 years, fire and EMS agencies have relied on TargetSolutions to optimize their training programs. With comprehensive training tracking, custom content sharing, online course delivery, real-time user-training progress, and detailed reporting, TargetSolutions makes it easy for agencies to meet training requirements and monitor compliance. Vector Evaluations+ was later introduced to extend training proficiency management in the field, giving evaluators a mobile way to digitally capture, assess, document, and validate live demonstrations. Together, they provide a unified view into comprehensive personnel competency.

Credential integration provides department leaders with unmatched visibility into knowledge and skills by recording hands-on evaluations alongside related activities, resources, and courses.

This integration provides better visibility into overall crew readiness and reduces data fragmentation with automated recordkeeping. Training officers and evaluators spend less time on administrative tasks and more time evaluating readiness and providing meaningful coaching to personnel.

Elevated Insights with Deeper Integrations

Now, the connection between TargetSolutions and Evaluations+ has been taken to the next level with deeper integrations designed to capture training effort more completely, without adding work.

A new training duration entry question type in Evaluations+ allows evaluators to record time spent coaching, remediating, and developing skills during live training. That duration is automatically counted towards hour-based credentials in TargetSolutions. This results in training time recorded once and reflected everywhere it matters, supporting ISO compliance and preceptor programs, and providing a clearer understanding of performance improvement efforts.

In addition to gaining better insight into how skills are being fostered, expanded integration between TargetSolutions and Evaluations+ also brings smarter reporting. Form builders can select from a prepopulated list of TargetSolutions Tags in Evaluations+, making it easier to filter reports, demonstrate compliance, and analyze trends across training programs—without manual reconciliation or inconsistent labeling.

A Clearer View of Readiness

By connecting training management and live skills evaluations at a deeper level, agencies gain a more complete, accurate view of readiness. This view reflects both outcomes and effort. For fire and EMS leaders, this means better insight into program effectiveness. For evaluators, it means less paperwork and more time focused on coaching. And for crews, it means training programs that are aligned, intentional, and built to keep them safe and prepared.

TargetSolutions and Vector Evaluations+ do more than just track training; they help transform it into measurable readiness.
