gbaSI offers ON-SITE IMSA Certification

Why is IMSA certification and renewal important? This is a question often asked by IMSA’s certified body. It is often a misconception that working in the field every-day is proof enough that an individual is current in their field of expertise. In the public safety field, keeping pedestrians and motorists safe is critical, and IMSA certification / renewal is pertinent to the continued success and safety of your day-to-day job. Safety starts with you; the individual setting up the work zone, in the bucket truck, working in a cabinet, installing fire alarms, striping roads or posting signage. Being current in your field will help ensure the well-being of motorists, pedestrians and you. 

Maintaining mandatory training and continuing education requirements is always a chore! It requires employees to be away from day to day duties for their departments, getting required team members to offsite training classes, and usually includes travel expenses. IMSA certification is required of most Cities, States and Municipality Public Works employees and must be renewed every three years. Unfortunately, most IMSA training courses are only offered at Regional and National Conferences, which can be costly to attend as well as being out of State, which prohibits some Public Works Departments from attending. What is the most efficient way for you to get this critical training to your team members? 

gba Systems Integrators will now bring IMSA training to YOU! 

gbaSI will assist you in developing a customized program of certification, renewal of certification, CEU or retake/challenge tests that you require. Within a day or two of receiving that information, gbaSI will send you a formal quote for the cost of your program.

gbaSI will also work with you to contact surrounding cities or contractors to partner in your certification program. By bringing more students to any class, costs can be shared and necessary training can be obtained for less!

In the Spirit of the Season

The joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others' burdens, easing other's loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of Christmas. ~ W. C. Jones

As we go home each night and have a meal to eat and a roof over our heads, we realize there are those who do not have the same luxury. With the temperatures starting to get colder, we know there is more need for warm meals and warm clothes. We are grateful for places such as the Humility of Mary Shelter, Inc. that help those less fortunate.

The Shelter is a non-profit organization which provides emergency shelter, as well as, transitional and permanent supportive housing programs for those experiencing homelessness. We are very glad to have been a part of helping the shelter this Holiday season. We want to thank Hy-Vee for the additional donation to purchase more coffee for the shelter.

For everyone, we wish you safe and Happy Holidays! Best wishes for peace and prosperity in the New Year from all of us at gbaSI!
