PRESS RELEASE
MIAMI — First Due, the leading provider of cloud-based Fire & EMS software, today announced the availability of Axene Continuing Education (Axene CE) content natively within the First Due Learning Management System (LMS). The integration enables EMS agencies to access, deliver, and track CAPCE-accredited continuing education in a single system, reducing compliance challenges while improving learner engagement.
EMS agencies must maintain accurate continuing education records to support certification, readiness, and regulatory compliance. However, accredited CE content is often delivered outside an agency’s primary LMS, creating fragmented workflows for training officers and administrators. Managing separate systems for purchasing, access, tracking, and documentation increases administrative burden and introduces compliance risk, while disconnected learner experiences add friction for EMTs and paramedics completing required education.
At the same time, many EMS continuing education programs rely on passive formats that fail to hold attention or reinforce real-world clinical decision-making. Low engagement reduces the effectiveness of training and limits how well education translates to performance in the field, making it harder for agencies to ensure both compliance and readiness.
The Axene Continuing Education × First Due LMS integration embeds Axene CE’s CAPCE-accredited, scenario-based EMS courses directly into the First Due LMS. Axene CE content is designed to be engaging and practical, using real-world clinical scenarios, applied examples, and multimedia instruction to connect education directly to field decision-making. Delivered on-demand within the LMS, courses fit operational schedules while helping learners stay focused and retain information that matters during patient care.
Learner enrollment, progress, and completion are automatically tracked within First Due. Certificates and CE credit records are generated upon completion, and training officers can access administrative reporting tools to verify compliance and maintain accurate training records without relying on manual processes or external systems.
“Continuing education is essential for maintaining certification and operational readiness, but it shouldn’t depend on fragmented systems or manual tracking,” said a First Due executive. “By delivering accredited EMS continuing education directly within the First Due LMS, we simplify compliance while giving agencies reliable, defensible training records.”
“Continuing education should actually change how providers think and act in the field, not just check a box,” said Erik Axene, MD, Founder and CEO of Axene Continuing Education. “By integrating Axene CE directly into First Due, agencies have access to impactful EMS training that fits into existing workflows, saves lives, and keeps compliance simple.”
As EMS agencies navigate evolving regulatory demands and increasing operational complexity, the ability to access accredited education and maintain reliable records in one system has become essential. Integrations that consolidate content delivery, tracking, and documentation help agencies maintain readiness, reduce risk, and ease administrative overhead.
By embedding accredited EMS continuing education directly into its LMS, First Due reinforces its role as a centralized platform for training, compliance, and operational oversight—supporting agencies in delivering consistent, accountable education across their workforce.
