Sable Altura Firefighter II Program
This course meets all NFPA Standards for Firefighter II, through the lens of Operations at Sable Altura Fire Rescue. It is intended to complete the education journey that was started in a Fire Academy with Firefighter I, but focuses on the finishing part of this education in a vastly different setting. A setting that sets the standard of student expectation and self-discipline for the rest of their educational experiences in the Fire Service.
FES Instructor I Program
This course is a required course for all Sable Altura career staff, and is a prerequisite for the FESCO Officer-certification track. This course does not focus on the content on *what* to teach, but rather, how to teach, and how to teach individuals who learn in different ways. We touch on types of delivery options, and embrace technological advantages while adhering to foundational educational models. Fire and EMS educators must learn to be educators, and not just the oldest people at the department.
