Thank you to those Fire
Departments that assist us for your time and effort as our students worked together
with you to train on live apparatus. The true Manitoba weather
also makes this training as Canadian as it can get.
Fire fighting is a rewarding and exciting career. If you are interested in pursuing a career as a fire fighter we can provide you with the knowledge and skills to obtain the necessary certification required.
The S.M.A.R.T. Fire Fighting Program utilizes a three track approach which gives students the flexibility and expert instruction they are looking for.
International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) seals can be obtained upon successful completion.
NFPA 1001: Firefighter Level II and NFPA 472: Hazmat Awareness / Operations Program Information.
Three tracks of training ensure that the best of each type of Firefighter Training possible are combined into the learning experience.
The online didactic theory components can be completed by the student on their schedule and learning pace. This is not a typical online program. It includes lectures, assignments, and videos to complete all required didactic objectives.
In addition to the online theory components, the S.M.A.R.T. Fire Fighter Program features specialized professional sessions scheduled every week in Winnipeg, Manitoba. These sessions are facilitated by members from the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and other Manitoba Fire Departments. All students in each Winnipeg classroom session will have a full set of turn out gear and complete operational SCBA apparatus.
At the completion of the theory components, a two week skills camp off site is attended to complete the practical components of the training program. This "boot camp" is truly an all inclusive, full time, fire fighting experience. Students will stay at the fire hall 24 hours/day, eat together, train together just like at the actual fire hall they will someday work at. Staying at a hotel or house for night and training during the day is not quite a "full time" training experience. We feel that giving the student the best training experience, like this true simulation setting, gives the students the best course possible. All materials, accommodations, meals, and training are included in the "boot camp".
Our American training partner has one of the highest exam result percentages in North America. The program is fully accredited through the Texas Fire Commission for eligibility to receive internationally recognized certificates. These obtained certifications can be used to gain firefighter employment by the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service as well as many other cities throughout Canada and the United States.
