Virtual Academy's Telecommunications courses allow us to work at our own pace and they continuously release new courses throughout the year. The Training Management System gives us the ability to manage all training records and conduct policy management in one system. They are available for all users 24/7 to provide tech support and they are always open to feedback and new course suggestions.
The quality of Virtual Academy courses are great! They have Telecommunication courses as well as Public Safety courses. This gives our staff the opportunity to take a variety of courses and not get pigeon-holed into one area allowing them to grow and expand their knowledge base at a very affordable investment per user.
When we started looking for a training partner our goal was to find a system to manage all of our training records in one place. Although we are a small PSAP it is a great feature and certainly a more convenient way to manage records on a daily basis.
When legislation requiring T-CPR training was on the horizon, we learned that Virtual Academy would be offering a virtual T-CPR course through our partnership at no additional cost to us. We were amazed. Budgets are shrinking and agencies are forced to rethink how they deliver training to their employees. Virtual Academy hasn’t just gone outside the box, they demolished the box entirely.
Virtual Academy has been exceptional from start to finish. The Virtual Academy team helped us seamlessly onboard 800 users across 29 agencies in a short amount of time, and asks for our input on every front. The 9-1-1 content is top-notch, and it has been a wonderful tool for our Telecommunicators.
By partnering with Virtual Academy, we are enabling many departments to achieve the majority of their P.O.S.T. requirements without losing valuable time away from their assignments. The ability to eliminate one day of academy training and replace those hours with Virtual Academy courses will save our Department of 850+ nearly $250,000.
I can’t tell you how important Virtual Academy has been for our agency during the COVID time. We have been able to continue our level of training and are prepared to meet all of the State POST requirements for this year for all of our officers.
Partnering with Virtual Academy to bring distance learning to our 1,200 officers is one of the best decisions we ever made. Not only has this option increased the total amount of training we deliver, at low cost and high convenience, it has allowed us to move compliance courses online and thus to create more discretion in our live training curriculum. As a CALEA participating department, this saves us an enormous amount of time, money, and trouble. The interface is simple and user friendly, and VA provides outstanding admin service and tech support. If your agency is looking for ways to improve training, start here. It makes everything easier.
Virtual Academy's training is the most advanced, professional, and cutting-edge online training of the future. We have been using Virtual Academy for over a year and we can't imagine training without it.
Virtual Academy allows me to customize training to each officers skill level and easily track progress.
I am amazed at the amount of valuable information and am highly impressed with the professional courses.
The Virtual Academy team is exceptional. They helped us get started in no time.
The value of this partnership comes down to providing opportunities to departments so that communities have officers with the most current and up to date training at their fingertips. The ultimate beneficiary is the public.
I am amazed at the amount of valuable information that I obtained, and highly impressed with the professional courses that Virtual Academy provides.
Definitely the most intuitive way to train!

Virtual Academy is world-class. Everything they do is top-notch.
Good tool for training. We have been assigning courses over the past quarter and we have uploaded policies and memos into the system and everything is going great.
