Humber’s Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training certificate program prepares you for the demands and rewards of a firefighting career. At the start of the program, you will learn about fire department operations and the equipment used on the job. You will then delve deeper into topics such as fire behavior and combustion chemistry, firefighting techniques, rescue strategies, emergency patient care, hazardous materials awareness, and firefighter health and wellness. You’ll also gain hands-on experience by practicing your skills in a burn tower. Faculty, who are certified fire service instructors and active firefighters, will share their extensive experience and expertise to prepare you for the field.

While gaining employment as a firefighter is highly competitive, completion of this program will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge. Completion of this program does not guarantee employment.
