Academy schedule

[smokeater81]

I'm in the process of putting together an academy schedule and I would like to see what other Training Divisions are doing.

I'm a new Training Officer for a Volunteer department, consisting of 80 volunteers.

I've never had to put together a schedule before, and I figured this would be a good place to start.

Are there requirements for the total amount of hours for different sections? Topics?

Is is possible to do an academy in three-four months?

If you want to share your schedule with me, please e-mail me.

Thanks in advance for any help,

I just got a new book from Fire Engineering called "Volunteer Training Officer's Handbook". I think it will help you out.

It also comes with a free CD-rom containing Powerpoint slides.

Do a search for the Texas Commision on fire prevention.
