Welcome

This 3 semester program prepares students for the position of Recruit Firefighter.  It is delivered in full time and part time modes.  The structure of the program is a fall semester intake followed by a winter semester, then off for the summer and returning again in the fall for the final semester.  The program is supported by the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs and the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshall.  The program not only provides the requisite knowledge and skills that are required of a recruit firefighter but also emphasizes the importance of assimilation to the culture of the fire service and developing the character traits that will optimize the chances of a successful career.
