Aviation Firefighting Training Resource Kits
AFAC is currently developing Training Resource Kits (TRKs) for the implementation of the Aviation roles and competencies within the Public Safety Training Package.
A Public Safety Training Package handbook has been produced which provides generic overarching information about the Training Package.
The Australian Training Framework includes:
- Trainer Resources
- Assessor Resources
- Learner Resources
The development project will also:
- Confirm and agree alignment between Aviation roles and Public Safety Training Package competency standards
- Establish a priority list for development of Aviation role-based TRKs based on the fire component of the Public Safety Training Package
- Research current development of resources to support the development of the aviation role-based TRKs within agencies across Australasia and produce a database of resources currently available or being developed
- Construct a TRK format that groups units of competency to identified roles and provide templates for development of trainer resources, learner resources and assessor resources
- Allocate TRK to agencies for development and establish a reporting process for monitoring project progress and responsibilities
- Reach agreement on quality criteria for review of TRKs developed
- Establish guidelines for how the TRKs are to be reviewed upon completion of drafts and actions to take when further work is required
- Establish a process for the update and maintenance of TRKs to an agreed standard
The development of the TRKs is occurring in two stages:
First Stage:
- Air Operations Manager
- Aircraft Officer
- Air Base Manager
- Air Attack Supervisor
- Air Observer
- Incendiary Operations Supervisor
