Wheelchair Securement Training
Professional, practical, compliance‑focused training for NEMT drivers — taught by CTAA‑certified instructors with real NEMT industry experience.
Built for drivers who transport wheelchair passengers every day
Every trip with a wheelchair passenger depends on getting the lift, the tie‑downs and the belts right. This course gives new and experienced drivers a clear, repeatable method — and the hands‑on practice to use it with confidence.
We serve drivers working with MTM, MART, GART, and multiple HHS / Medicare‑related agencies across New England.
