COMPARISON OF PRE-SERVICE FIREFIGHTER EDUCATION AND TRAINING PROGRAM TO OTHER SELECTED TRAINING PROGRAMS
Recently, the OFM completed a comparison of other selected accredited
firefighting programs offered throughout Canada and the United States. This
comparison looked at both skills training as well as theory requirements of the
various programs.
This evaluation was conducted at the request of the endorsed colleges that
provide the Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training Certificate Program.
As well as being an extremely beneficial guide for use by the endorsed colleges,
this comparison may also be an extremely valuable aid for municipalities to
assist them in their recruiting process.
These accredited programs have been evaluated against the Pre-Service
Firefighter Education and Training Certificate Program and found to be deficient
in one or more areas. In order to receive the Pre-Service Firefighter Education
and Training Program Certificate, the candidate would need to complete
satisfactorily those deficiencies noted. Colleges will verify validity of the
credentials through an official transcript.
The attached list clearly indicates the final summary of the comparisons for
each program.
