About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

The purpose of this qualification is to provide the vegetation fire and rescue sector with personnel that have the knowledge and skills required to carry out a wide range of fire and rescue tasks. These include the ability to contribute to a number of functions within a vegetation firefighting team and the ability to operate as crew leader if required - though other personnel may assume this role at larger incidents.
Graduates will be able to operate under the limited supervision of a crew leader, CIMS function manager, or Incident Controller.
