Case Study: VTac expands its training business and empowers schools with HSI's AVERT program

New Program Helps Approved HSI Training Center Grow Business

VTac, LLC, an emergency care training center in Aztec, New Mexico run by Paul and Candice Mitchell, needed a nationally accredited partner with a broad program portfolio and business tools to schedule classes, order materials, and manage reporting efficiently. They partnered with HSI as an approved Training Center, adopting HSI’s emergency care programs—including CPR/AED/First Aid, BLS, CABS—and especially the Active Violence Emergency Response Training (AVERT), plus HSI’s online Otis portal.

HSI delivered the AVERT curriculum and a customizable portal that streamlined administration and enabled hands-on, environment-specific drills (bleeding control, tourniquet work, scenario practice) that resonate with teachers, banks, and community groups. Using HSI’s programs and support, VTac grew its business organically, secured a large school-district client after its first AVERT class, expanded its course offerings, and reported stronger student confidence and consistently positive reviews.
