COURSE DETAILS
SCOPE
The course is limited to those personnel who already have the advanced firefighting certification and have maintained 1 year of sea time within the last 5 years.
This model course aims to provide training in advanced firefighting in accordance with the assessments identified in 46 CFR 11.303(c). The emphasis of the training is on organization, tactics, and command.
