We do not like to use the
term "lecture". We view it as more of a discussion or an
interactive sharing of information. We strive for an
audience-interactive learning environment utilizing Power
Point presentations and simulator software. Our Power Point
presentations include tactical photographs from the best
fire photographers in the business. Through the use of
photos taken throughout the country and discussion, we drive
home size-up, firefighter safety and basic firefighting
operations.
The "Lecture/Discussion"
class-type may be useful when class enrollment may be larger
than what can be managed for hands-on training sessions.
Additionally, lectures provide an excellent alternative for
the months of the year where intense heat/humidity or deep
freeze can render outdoor training distracting or dangerous.
There is no "maximum attendance" on Lecture/Discussion
classes as our instructors are used to large-venues. |
Hands-on classes are highly
interactive instruction and discussion taking place at a
fixed-drill facility or building, a training area or the
firehouse. Almost all of the topics listed below can be
adapted in the case that an acquired structure is
unavailable. We will need an estimated attendance so that an
adequate number of instructors will be present to best
facilitate your class. |
Has your department recently
acquired or will soon acquire a structure that can be
utilized for hands-on training? Let us step in and assist
your Training Division. We will teach one or more of the
courses listed below, or we can work with your training
staff to create a unique class designed for the specific
acquired structure using your procedures and manpower. We
will need an estimated attendance so that an adequate number
of instructors will be present to best facilitate your
class. |
Our most popular request is a
combination of two types listed above. With the combination
class, the lecture/discussion classes are backed up with
hands-on applications. It is proven that classroom and
hands-on reinforcement is the best way to learn a new skill
or idea. We are very flexible with combination classes. Some
departments request a one day (8-hour) class with a
discussion/lecture in the morning reinforced with hands-on
skills in the afternoon. Yet, other departments have
requested a one day (8-hour) discussion/lecture which is
backed up by a full second day of hands-on training.
Whatever your need, we will do our best to suit your
department and it's training needs. We will need an
estimated attendance so that an adequate number of
instructors will be present to best facilitate your class. |
