Online Training

The Fire and Emergency Services Training Institute (FESTI) is committed to the safety and education of its students during these uncertain times of COVID-19. We recognize that planning for the future is difficult during this pandemic and it is our intention to continue to provide training to all our students. This training may extend beyond originally planned dates, but the students of FESTI will receive their education and practical evolutions.

FESTI is quickly modifying its presentations so that they are available in online modules so that students can proceed through the lessons while at home. We are also preparing for practical evolutions while exercising social distancing. For example, our aircraft rescue firefighter practical evolutions have been modified so that dry chemical and interior runs will be completed while maintaining appropriate distances. Our NFPA 1001 students, in both our Pre-Service and Blended programs, will now be completing their theory via online modules and attending FESTI for practical evolutions once everyone is able to get back to FESTI.

We are also excited about offering our updated NFPA 1041 course; this course will now be completed online with the certification exam being the only requirement at FESTI. Our NFPA 1035 program is being finalized and will be presented in a blended format.

FESTI is responsive to current education changes by updating our NFPA 1001 online modules, modifying practical dates and delivery techniques and enabling online courses and Instructor presentations. Even in this time of uncertainty, FESTI is dedicated to train and equip students to be prepared and Rise Further. Visit www.festi.ca for current updates and course details.
