Course Description:
The Apparatus Equipped with a Fire Pump course meets the knowledge and Job Performance Requirements established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1002 Standard for Fire Apparatus Driver – Operator Professional Qualifications Chapter 5, 2017 Edition. It offers a mix of classroom-based sessions, online self-directed learning, as well as practicums. Upon successful completion of this course, each student will understand and be able to demonstrate the operation of a fire department pumper from both a static and pressurized source of water.
Provincial testing through the Academic Standands and Evaluation Unit with the Office of the Fire Marshal will be conducted at the conclusion of the course. Students that successfully complete the testing will receive certification.
Hybrid delivery
Given that this is a hybrid course, with a significant amount of pre-class work that must be completed before attending the in-class sessions, the Office of the Registrar will not be able to accommodate replacements of students or add additional students once the redemption codes for the pre-class have been issued.
Students must complete the online coursework prior to the commencement of the in-class sessions. If the online learning portion and assignments are not completed and submitted on time, students will not be permitted to attend the in-class portion of the course.
