Fire & Safety Division COURSE CATALOGUE 2000/200 I $5.00 FIRE �SAFETY Division COURSE CATALOGUE 2000/2001 IT -------,. JUSTICE INSTITIJTE OFB.C. Training for Safer Communities This page left intentionally blank Message from the Director Two years have passed since the Fire and Safety Division of the Justice Institute of British Columbia produced its first catalogue of programs and courses. Since that time many achievements have occurred in areas of our training and educational offerings. We now have graduates of the British Columbia Fire Fighter I Training Program and Fire Officer I of the Fire Service Leadership Diploma/ Certificate Program. A major expansion has occurred at our Maple Ridge Campus and includes an eleven-railcar derailment configuration that supports the Rail Tank Car Specialist Program and allows for sophisticated scenario-based training in the area of hazardous-material response. There is a tower crane erected at the Maple Ridge Campus in support of the Technical High Angle Rope Rescue Training Program. We have had twelve of our courses accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC). Thousands of certificates of achievement and successful completion of courses and programs have been issued. We take pride in sharing the success of our many students who work in a variety of areas within the fire, safety and emergency response communities. Our mission statement reflects our continuing dedication to our students and clients ... "By working with our clients and others who share our principles and vision, the JI Fire and Safety Division will continue to provide training and educational products and services that support the needs of a diverse group of clients." On behalf of all of us at the Fire and Safety Division, I will once again take this opportunity to thank you for your continuing support for our programs.

The Fire & Safety1Jivis10n is unable to project a time-frame for completion of the training necessary to achieve the training objectives for Fire Fighter I or Fire Fighter II as this is driven by the amount of time devoted to the training and evaluation which occurs at the fire department level. To assist fire departments in managing training and evaluations, subjects which meet the standard have been broken into ten (10) modules. The recommended training manual for this program is the International Fire Service Training For additional information on this program call {604} 528-5657.

Distance Education Programs Distance Education Programs for the Fire Service in the Province of British Columbia cover a series of courses that allow fire fighters and officers to upgrade their knowledge through self study of learning materials provided to them in their own locality. Distance Education allows students to work at their own pace. Students are encouraged to work at an accelerated pace according to schedules arranged with their own department support personnel, including fire department Liaison Officers (usually the Chief Training Officer or designate) and Fire & Safety Division instructors, who make up an integral part of the program. Support Personnel Instructors In each block the student's progress is guided and evaluated by a Fire & Safety Division appointed instructor. The instructor evaluates course assignments and block projects. The instructor informs the Division when the student is ready to write exams, as required. 24 PROGRAMS Liaison Officers The Fire Chief appoints a Liaison Officer to coordinate the delivery of the program within the Fire Department. The Liaison Officer (usually the Training Officer) provides support as necessary, supervises the writing of exams in the Fire Department, and maintains records in the department. Materials The student registers for a specific program or course, in consultation with the Liaison Officer. Each course contains the following: • Course units: presented as a series of printed booklets, each containing objectives, instructional material, self-tests, practical exercises, and projects to be completed. There is a basic tuition fee for each course. • Support materials: for Liaison Officer and instructors. For more information on these programs call {604} 528-5657. FIRE & SAFETY DIVISION FIRE SERVICE LEADERSHIP DIPLOMA/CERTIFICATE Fire Officer I Station Officer: Dealing with People The Fire Service Leadership Diploma/ Certificate Program provides fire ' officers with opportunities to expand their overall knowledge of the fire service and to achieve certification to the Fire Officer I, II, III and IV levels NFPA 1021, BC Fire Officer Standard. All Fire Officer levels are accredited by the ' International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC). The program is for officers in Career Fire Departments, Volunteer Fire Departments and composite Fire Departments. It provides essential knowledge for supervision of fire fighters in fire stations, managing the operations of a fire station and department, and the necessary skills to manage emergency scenes. The Fire Service Leadership Diploma/Certificate Program is offered primarily by distance education. However, specific programs such as Emergency Scene Management (Managing Company Tactical Operations), Fire Service Instructor, Incident Command, and Building Construction are delivered in a workshop format. Distance education, because of its flexibility, is particularly suitable for province-wide application. Students are able to remain in their regular work environment and can apply new skills and theories as they are acquired. This ensures that fire departments, which might not have staffing levels or budgets to support leaves of absence, can still participate in training opportunities. Distance learning is very cost effective as it saves having to have personnel to fill in for staff away on training. For the distance programs, students receive course materials, read, write and submit assignments. Instructors will grade the assignments and comment on all student work. For the departments that wish to have their officers trained in a classroom, Fire Officer I is offered on a full classroom format at the JIBC, New Westminster Campus.
