A successful program can only be achieved when the learning environment supports the student. Please note: The following items should be considered when scheduling a training class:

• Do you have a classroom area that will accommodate the number of students you anticipate?

• Does the area you have selected provide the proper environment for an effective learning experience (adequate lighting, ventilation, room temperature)?

• Can you provide a blackboard, projection screen, VCR, chairs, tables or desks?

• Are there any scheduled activities at the fire station that may conflict with the training session?

• Can you assign a department officer to be present at the training session to assist the Academy instructor?

• All manuals must be picked up by the Host Department at the Fire Academy Monday to Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. prior to the start of the first session.

• There is a minimum of 10 students to be in attendance at the first session to run a course, except where stated for certain courses, or the entire course will be cancelled.
