Who can train and assess?
CFA’s new Operational Training Fact Sheet includes four words in bold, red type: volunteers can train volunteers. It also says “not all training has to be delivered by CFA staff”.
The fact sheet is the result of direct co-operation between VFBV and Operational Training and Volunteerism staff at CFA.
The Fact Sheet also says formal competency training and assessment can be undertaken by suitably qualified and experienced Brigade personnel.
Formal Competency Training requires a qualified trainer, using the current training package.
Formal Competency Assessment requires a qualified assessor and can take place at the Brigade.
Brigade training that does not involve a formal competency or assessment can be carried out by any Brigade member approved by the Brigade Management Team.
An Operational Training Fact Sheet has been sent to all Brigades and Groups, and you can download a copy by clicking on the link below.
