About Obsidian Training Solutions

Driven by a true passion for the field, our experience and integrity speaks for itself

Obsidian Training Solutions stands apart from our competitors, as we have real-life experience in not only civilian emergency services but as remote Paramedics working in some of the world’s most dangerous environments. Your training won’t be out of a textbook, it will be out of decades of real-world experience and first-hand knowledge.

Our Team

Our Program Director has years’ experience with proven ability to tackle diverse challenges with both creativity and vision, while delivering strong operational gains to support both private venture and government funded, medical and security missions, both domestically and around the globe. His experience consists of not only domestic EMS 911 environments in which he was the sole Paramedic on a majority incidents, but knowledge was also gained when he served as a team medic on international security missions that supported a wide array of US government agencies. Our Program Director also has years of adult learning experience gained teaching both in the United States and teaching foreign internal defense forces while supporting Department of Defense missions in global hot spots. He also maintains the California Fire Marshal Fire Instructor 1A & 1B certifications.

Obsidian’s lead instructor served his community as a professional firefighter before turning a page in life and becoming a Search and Rescue Flight Medic working in some of the world’s most remote places, including a remote island nation of the South Pacific. Our lead instructor has taken the knowledge that he has obtained and brought it to Obsidian to offer some of the best training that you may ever receive.

Our Philosophy

At Obsidian Training Solutions, we aim to be a complete training provider for all EMS and healthcare professions. We strive to provide current and relevant training that is based on not just what is in a textbook but also by incorporating decades of domestic and international real life experience. Obsidian can provide all related healthcare training and EMS Continuous Quality Improvement programs for your organization.

Our History

Obsidian was formed in 2014 when we found a need for quality EMS and healthcare training. Obsidian takes its name from the deep shimmering black volcanic glass that has been used since prehistoric times to make spear tips and arrowheads. Obsidian Training Solutions strives to produce razor sharp detailed training programs.
