NWCG - National Wildfire Coordinating Group
Online Courseware for Wildland Firefighters
techniques.org is supporting the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG), an OPM-TMA client agency, by developing three wildland fire fighting multimedia certification courses.
Specifically, techniques.org is providing the following:
- Analysis
- Design
- Development
- Production
- Programming
- Course delivery
These courses will provide all federal, state, and other agency responders to wildland fires with the knowledge and skills necessary to become certified to fight wildland fires. These courses help coordinate the various programs of participating federal and state wildfire management agencies and eliminate wasteful duplication of training efforts.
The courses focus on:
- An introduction to wildland fire behavior
- Basic fire fighting training
- Human factors to consider while fighting a fire
These multimedia courses will provide the comprehensive baseline knowledge to support the required performance tests. |
