No. Although it is recommended based on time restraints and adequate preparation to focus on one career coaching service for a three hour session, the coaching session areas may be adjusted, based on a specific candidate request. 

Each three hour career coaching session will consist of a private training session to assist the candidate in any of the following areas of their choice.

As we conclude our 3 hour session, Firehouse Training will be providing the candidate with a documented action plan, outlining additional steps to use as you go forward into the firefighter hiring process.

Upon request, a reference letter of attendance is also issued to the candidate for application portfolio purposes to confirm participation in our firefighter recruitment coaching services.

Yes. Firehouse Training offers best value pricing for candidates participating in various stages of the hiring process and require assistance in more than one area at once, can choose any two coaching sessions in a one day period and receive a discounted price. However, many of our candidates often choose one session per day, based on the current hiring process step they are currently involved and book additional sessions in the future as required.

To ensure professionalism and recruitment training at the highest standards, all face-to-face career coaching meetings and training courses will be held at the Firehouse Training / Total Rescue Training Facility on 6006 Highway 6, Elora, ON N0B 1S0. We are located 20 minutes north of the City of Guelph on Highway 6, in the small hamlet of Ennotville.

Yes. A catered lunch is provided for any of our full day on-site firefighter training courses. Coffee, donuts, muffins, water and juice among other items are also available during the morning of each training course. Lunches are generally not provided for those candidates arriving for a three hour career coaching session. 

Firehouse Training runs a career coaching session day one weekend per month, and one firefighter training course one weekend each month. Spots for each training day are open until registration is full, on a first come first serve basis. It is always best to register as early as possible, as spots due to registration fill up quickly. Once registration for our one day a month session is full, Firehouse Training may opt to open a second training day or move those candidates into the next month’s coaching sessions.

During the OFAI Stage III skills refresher session, you will have opportunity to practice each skill in our state of the art facility, and work one-on-one with our instructor through the each skill requirement as outlined in OFAI Stage Three testing format.

You will have an opportunity to use your review notes from our session, and identify each critical pass and fail as required during this test. This training is based on the practical firefighter skill requirements as outlined by the Firefighter I & II provincial NFPA 1001 sign-offs.

This training standard as set out by the Office of the Fire Marshal, and IFSTA Essentials of Firefighting 6th Edition textbook. You will also demonstrate each skill in real time, and will debrief upon completion.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
