What is the Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training Program?
The Ontario Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training Program was launched in 2001 and is designed to effectively prepare potential firefighters for entry into Ontario’s Fire Service. This three-semester Community College Certificate Program is the result of a partnership between the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC), the Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM), Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (Community Colleges) and partnering fire departments.
