I would like to obtain course approval for training for certification, but do not have the facilities in my jurisdiction to complete the practical skill exams. What can I do?
Any department not having a required resource can supply an equivalent resource that will fulfill the teaching and learning experience and the Division of Personnel Standards and Education will give a waiver for this resource. The department should document on the Unlimited Facility Form all details of the equivalent resource being used, i.e., 2 story building for rappelling, old barn for burn tower, etc.
Any Fire Department not having a required resource can utilize an equivalent resource that will satisfy the required objective. An example is if a Fire Department does not have a training tower to perform the practical objectives, it may utilize one of the regional training sites through the Fire Service Institute or another Fire Department’s training facility that does satisfy the resource. The Fire Department must notate the additional resource on the facility approval form.
