Fire
Fighter Academy |
Texas Fire Academy is
currently running a basic fire fighter academy consisting
of on-line course work and hands-on skills days. The on-line
course work allows students to meet in a virtual learning
environment created by their instructor. In each section of
the course, students can expect to interact with instructors
via chat rooms, discussion forums, email, and through other
interactive media.
During this academy, students can expect to work on-line 16-20
hours a week at their leisure. Then every two weeks cadets
will report for a 48-hour hands on training shift. Cadets
will bunk in a working fire station and spend their time developing
their team building skills, forming study groups and performing
fire fighter training evolutions*. This valuable experience
combines the traditional team approach of on site course work
with the advanced on-line environment. By combining the two
methods, Texas Fire Academy produces top
quality graduates ready to face the challenges of the fire
profession. |
