HyResponder Course Material - Part 2
Framework for learning:
Level: Firefighters
This is a guide to the course material, and an overview of the learning outcome of each unit. The actual lessons are downloadable right here on CTIF.org, as PDFs and also printable for those who prefer to learn on paper.
Where there is videos to guide the students to visual learning, we will show a window to the uploaded videos to watch here on CTIF.org. There will also be URL links in the lessons, and QR codes for the printable versions, leading students to the videos which go with each unit.
The embedded videos below were created in Belgium for the Belgian Ministry of Home Affairs and were translated and made into English versions, especially for the benefit of CTIF. They are to be seen as an example of what a fire academy or training facility can do with this basic material.
