About this title

Synopsis

Training Officer’s Handbook is the definitive guide for training operations in the modern fire service. Whether volunteer, combination, or paid, firefighters have a common mission as well as a common need for competent, realistic training. This book replaces the trial-and-error and “school of hard knocks” approach for training officers, deploying the authors’ many decades of combined experience to fill in the gaps between instructor credentialing and managing a training system. Recommendations in this book include: • Honing your craft as a fire instructor to ensure an impactful instructional delivery • Bringing a systemic approach to managing your training operations • Mastering technology and instructional methodologies • Networking and expanding your reach and impact as an instructor
