In operation since 1949, the
Ontario Fire College's primary responsibility is to develop and deliver academically
sound educational/training programs to meet the needs of both today's and tomorrow's
fire service. The main objective of the Ontario Fire College programs and courses
is to assist all firefighters to become the best-trained and most professional
firefighters in the province. We offer training and education programs which
are based on the Ontario Fire Service Standards.
Our
courses are available to members of any Ontario municipal fire department, whether
full-time or volunteer. Student-learners must complete and sign the Training
and Education Application Form, and have it signed by their Fire Chief or designate,
before faxing it to the Office of the Registrar.
The Ontario Fire College
continues to implement strategic initiatives to make high quality education
and training accessible and available to fire service personnel. The Firefighter
Curriculum, available to all municipal fire departments, is presently being
updated in accordance with the recent revision of the Ontario Firefighter Standards.
Associate
Instructor pilot projects, agreements with other post-secondary educational
institutions, off-campus delivery of OFC courses, extended use of OFC facilities,
and increased numbers of course offerings are examples of these initiatives.
In addition, partnerships with a growing number of fire service organizations,
associations, colleges and universities are helping to meet the ongoing demand
for fire service career-path education and training opportunities. On-campus
initiatives such as improvements to the classroom and the training ground environments,
and the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment and training aids continue
to enhance learning opportunities. The 15-station computer lab, located on the
second floor of the residence building, complements the services of the Resource
Centre in affording student-learners ready access to research-oriented learning.
