Overview

Training Officer’s Handbook is the definitive guide for training operations in the modern fire service. Whether volunteer, combination, or paid, firefighters have a common mission as well as a common need for competent, realistic training.

Recommendations in this book include:• Honing your craft as a fire instructor to ensure an impactful instructional delivery • Bringing a systemic approach to managing your training operations • Mastering technology and instructional methodologies • Networking and expanding your reach and impact as an instructor.
