Course duration<br />
One year full-time or equivalent part-time.<br />
Structure<br />
Students must complete eighteen core modules (compulsory 561 hours for all<br />
students) and elective modules totalling a minimum <strong>of</strong> 110 hours. Selection <strong>of</strong><br />
electives for Certificate IV in Fire Technology (minimum total 110 hours) is subject<br />
to prerequisite requirements. Students should select a group <strong>of</strong> modules from the<br />
Curriculum Framework for Fire Technology or from other approved and accredited<br />
curriculum as described above, totalling a minimum <strong>of</strong> 110 hours.<br />
Approved Vocational Modules<br />
An approved block <strong>of</strong> vocational module(s} required by the student in the<br />
performance <strong>of</strong> their work could be considered as appropriate elective(s}. The<br />
Training Provider in conjunction would grant approval with the industry reference<br />
group (National Fire Education Provider Network). An application for such approval<br />
should include full documentation <strong>of</strong> the accreditation, learning outcomes and<br />
assessment methods and criteria for each <strong>of</strong> the modules.<br />
Operational Firefighter Modules<br />
Any appropriate modules from the Fire Services National Modular Training System<br />
approved for this purpose by the Training Provider.<br />
