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.


**The information in these courses is meant to be a guideline and does not supersede any policies or procedures set forth by your own agency.**

About Impact Dispatch

Founded in 2018, Impact Dispatch was created for dispatchers, by dispatchers with one clear purpose: to provide affordable, high-quality training and professional development for public safety communications professionals and agencies of every size.

We understand the realities of working behind the headset because our training is built from real-world experience. We also understand that training budgets can look very different from one communications center to another. A small or rural agency should not have to sacrifice quality simply because it does not have the training budget of a larger organization.

That's why affordability and accessibility are at the heart of Impact Dispatch.

Our training is designed to be practical, relevant, and applicable to the challenges communications professionals face every day. From foundational dispatcher skills and critical incident response to leadership, employee development, and advanced professional growth, we are committed to supporting communications professionals throughout their careers.

Impact Dispatch is more than a collection of online courses. Our goal is to help elevate the profession by giving dispatchers the knowledge, tools, resources, and confidence they need to grow—not only as telecommunicators, but as public safety professionals and future leaders.

Whether we are serving one dispatcher, a small communications center, or a large agency, our commitment remains the same:

Quality training should be within reach for everyone.

Created for Dispatchers. By Dispatchers. Built for the Profession.

Keep Learning. Keep Growing. Keep Making an Impact.
