Due to physical demands of this program for job related activities, it is highly recommended that students get a medical exam before enrolling. Applicants are advised that good vision and hearing are important health requirements for the program.

Candidates must be aware that some components of the program require students to wear a breathing apparatus and climb high ladders; therefore, claustrophobia or acrophobia may prevent candidates from completing their studies.

For employment, most Fire Departments require a police record check, good vision and hearing, and physical fitness. They also require that candidates have a class DZ Ontario driver’s licence. Candidates can contact the Ontario Ministry of Transport for further information on obtaining the licence.

This full-time program is offered at the Woodroffe Campus.
