Personnally a course the same would be great, but I have seen the SES Training Resource Kit which requires that Basic Rescue and other tools courses to have already been completed.
Thus I would assume the pre-requisites (Basic Fire Fighter ??)for CFS are different, thus the courses not compatable.
Pity one of the services (MFS, CFS or SES) did not do a 'bridging type course' so that course pre-requisites are the same, thus RCR course would be the same.
Oh well, maybe opportunity missed....maybe an SES person picking up a hose would have created more of a storm....

HMMM but there is RPL between CFS & MFS... just not SES.

Back to the topic about SES responses being longer because members live further away; how does that excuse a long response time? Even if their members lived at the station, CFS could still get to an incident first, because of the distance SES has to travel to get there.
The only the SES could have similar response times to CFS is to have the an SES unit in every town with the CFS.
Personally, if I was the patient that required lifting, and had to wait an extra 15 minutes for the SES, when the fire station is just down the road, I'd be asking questions...
Shouldn't the closest resource be responded regardless of what service?
