Course Offerings: Courtroom Preparation and Testimony for First Responders ERT: Strategic and Tactical Considerations for Supervisors Fire Prevention for First Responders and Small Departments EMS Functions in the Incident Command System Decision Making for Initial Company Operations Strategy and Tactics for Initial Company Operations Leadership II: Strategies for Personal Success Incident Safety Officer S.C. Fire Academy s Online Learning Community Fire certification training is only a click away through the S. C. Fire Academy s Online Learning Community. These webbased courses offer an alternate delivery method for students who otherwise may not be able to travel to attend traditional courses. Providing more training to more firefighters better prepares our communities in the event of a disaster, protects property, and saves lives. Course Categories Independent Study Independent study courses provide strictly web-based instruction that includes multimedia presentations, video instruction, written activities, and competency testing. After registering for the course, independent study students complete the entire course online and are not required to attend face-to-face classes. Courses currently offered in the independent study format: Hazardous Materials Awareness Blended Learning This category uses a virtual classroom as its primary means of instruction. This course format blends online learning with a face-to-face, applied learning/concept development phase to help students attain the critical thinking skills fire service professionals require. During the online portion, students view web-based interactive modules, complete written assignments, review online study materials, and interact with their instructor and other students through the course s discussion forums. At the completion of the online portion, students meet in person with the instructor for team-building and other applied learning activities and to complete a proctored certification test. These courses typically include a face-to-face orientation session, an eight-week at home period, and traditional classroom sessions. Courses currently offered in the blended format: Fire Officer I 4170 Fire Instructor I Hybrid elearning The Academy s hybrid elearning courses require greater technical skill development and combine elements of both independent study and blended learning. In a hybrid course, students must first successfully complete an online independent study portion before participating in face-to-face skill development sessions. Students work at their own pace to complete the online reading assignments and instructor-led activities, watch skills videos, and review study guide questions. The online portion also includes competency testing through required online chapter/module tests. Students must successfully pass all online tests to qualify for the instructor-led skill development and evaluation sessions, where the skills are taught, practiced, and evaluated. Courses currently offered in the hybrid elearning pilot format: 1401 Firefighter I 1428 Hazardous Materials Operations C
