1 Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy Course Syllabus 103 Title: Fire Apparatus Engineer Type: Campus Training Program (CTP) Program Duration: 48 Hours Coordinator: B. Hatch Course Description NIPSTA s Fire Apparatus Engineer FAE program is designed to exceed the requirements outlined by the Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal OSFM, and provides students with the basic knowledge and skills needed to perform as a professional fire apparatus engineer as outlined in NFPA Prerequisites The purpose of pre-requisite course work is to ensure students have sufficient backgrounds to understand the terminology, tactics and practical applications presented in NIPSTA programs. At a minimum, NIPSTA requires successful completion of the following: Member of a recognized fire department or brigade Basic Operations Firefighter Valid/appropriate class driver s license Attendance In order to receive a certificate of completion for courses, NIPSTA requires students to be present for all lectures, demonstrations and evolutions. Safety NIPSTA Instructors will ensure hazards have been identified and addressed prior to the start of each program. All course safety guidelines are discussed prior to operations. Unsafe actions or behaviors will not be tolerated and will be grounds for dismissal. Academic Integrity NIPSTA aspires to the highest possible standards of academic honesty and integrity in all programs as key tenants of the NIPSTA experience. NIPSTA Instructors set forth clear ethical expectations, promote consistency of standards, and encourage reporting of dishonest and unsafe behaviors. While education though participation is the central goal for every NIPSTA program, it is only possible when honesty and integrity are part of the overall mission. Performance Testing & Evaluation NIPSTA employs multiple methods of measuring competency subject matter, including cognitive and performance skill testing. Cognitive skills will be measured by utilizing a comprehensive written exam at the conclusion of the course. Students must achieve a minimum 70% score to successfully pass the written exam. Performance skill tests measure an individual s ability to perform specific tasks or applications based on given or known job performance requirements (JPRs). Unless otherwise specified, performance skill tests will be measured on a pass or fail basis. 3/10/2018 NIPSTA Fire Apparatus Engineer 1
