Cameron Yelland:
Gday,

Just wondering what people think about the courses CFS offer at the moment and what courses should be added.

The courses are good, and the fact that they are being brought inline with the PSTP units is great. More courses should be added, especially:

PUAFIR302A - Suppress urban fire
PUAFIR309A - Operate pumps
PUAOPE003A - Navigate in urban and rural environments
PUAVEH001A - Drive vehicles under operational conditions
PUAFIR307A - Monitor hazardous atmospheres

Wishful thinking:
PUASAR003A - Undertake technical rescue
PUASAR004A - Undertake vertical rescue
PUASAR005A - Undertake confined space rescue
PUASAR006A - Undertake trench rescue
PUASAR007A - Undertake structural collapse rescue

The two most important ones I believe would be Suppress urban fire and Drive vehicles under operational conditions.

Mike:
PUAFIR307A - Monitor Hazardous Atmospheres is on the state training program this year. :)

Ah its back? Last I heard it was still on a hiatus while they decided what to do with the course. Thats awesome news.

 I don't see a problems with the courses that they offer and those brigades that have a specialist function should be pleased with what is on offer. The problems of concern is for brigades that don't have a specialist function or those that attend a variety of incidents but need that bit extra of training to be effective. A couple of courses that may be of benefit to these brigade include

PUAFIR202A Respond to isolated/remote structure fire
PUASAR001A Participate in a rescue operation
PUAFIR309A Operate pumps
PUAFIR206A Check installed fire safety systems
