The two-day exposure camp
Experience the work.
Explore the possibility.
A camp gives participants a chance to meet instructors, try appropriate introductory activities and consider whether they want to learn more. We agree the final agenda with your community.
02 / TEAMWORK & SERVICE
Understand the people behind the work.
- Supervised teamwork activities
- Conversations about fire service wellness
- What service to a community can look like
03 / WHAT COMES NEXT
Make an informed next decision.
- A conversation about further learning
- A certificate of completion
- Separate planning for professional training
The camp is career exposure and introductory learning. Its completion certificate is not NFPA firefighter certification and does not qualify participants for operational firefighting duties. Activities depend on participant suitability, facilities, equipment and the instructor safety plan.
From interest to a delivery plan
A program your organization can act on.
For education directors, principals, youth program managers, training managers and Nation administrators.
Understand your community.
Identify participants, goals, approximate numbers, preferred dates and who approves the program.
Confirm what delivery needs.
Review the site, equipment, instructor arrangements, responsibilities and cost.
Agree on the next step.
Prepare a suitable written proposal, clarify approvals and explore agreed funding work where eligible.
A separate professional training pathway
Planning beyond exposure?
For fire chiefs and community training leaders, we can also discuss a Firefighter Level 1 and Level 2 pathway, including learner readiness, practical facilities, instruction and assessment requirements.
Explore Level 1 & Level 2 ↗A certification route must be confirmed.
Certification administration and testing arrangements for this offering are still being confirmed. These must be settled before enrolment. Training attendance alone does not confer NFPA certification.
Completing an exposure camp does not establish eligibility for the advanced course.
