About the program

By combining theory and practical learning, the Firefighter – Pre-Service Education and Training course from Centennial College will help you to develop skills in exciting areas such as fire suppression, rescue operations and environmental protection. At Progress Campus, experienced fire service instructors will deliver the knowledge-based aspects of the offering. You’ll also utilize the training facilities at Ajax Fire Services and your Emergency Patient Care/EMR course will be taught at Morningside Campus, taking advantage of the location’s state-of-the-art medical lab.

“Courage and compassion” is the credo of Centennial’s Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training program. When you successfully complete the program, you’ll embody these qualities, receive a certificate from Centennial College, and be eligible to write the National Fire Protection Association 1001 Firefighter 1 and 2 as well as the 472 Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations testing. Many fire departments now require or prefer the Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training program and/or NFPA 1001. It’s expected that the program will increasingly become a minimum criterion for fire service hiring in Ontario.
