•
Not satisfied with what we found
– JOIFF decided to self accredit its Training
JOIFF accredited training

Committee of experienced / highly qualified peers
within Industry who
•
•
set standards for Training
established procedures to ensure maintenance
of Standards
JOIFF accredited Training

Competency Based Training
which is
an effective tool for Training
Emergency Services personnel
in
Industry

Course made Site Specific
Preferred main location for Training – Own Site
• Financial and logistical advantages
–
–
–
–
–
using own equipment
exposure to own Risks
better control over timing
use of Site’s own Training facilities
this is where any incident will occur and will need to be dealt with
• Possible disadvantages - if not properly planned
– lack of availability of planned Training Programme
– lack of availability of suitably accredited Instructors
– is the Training provided recognised / accredited ?
Accredited Training on Site
• Competency Based Training Personal Portfolio
– divided into UNITS and ELEMENTS to be carried out on the
Company Site by suitable Assessors / Instructors
plus
– training e.g. practical Firefighting, to be carried out at an
approved Training Establishment where the training facilities
are not available on site
The most effective form of Competency Based Training is a mixture
of on-site Training building on core content to address site-specific
issues and off-site Training to provide specialist competencies / for
exposure to others to keep Training FRESH and RELEVANT
