2 5 0 7 ~ Diploma ~ of Fire Technology
Course aims and description
This Diploma of Fire Technology is designed to develop
technical skills and knowledge and to train practitioners
and designers to work with engineers and related
professionals in the development, commissioning,
monitoring and assessment of fire safety systems, practices
and procedures and investigation of fire emergency
..
incidents.
Career potential
The course allows for specialisation in three main streams:
fire safety management, fire protection design and fire
investigation.
Further studies recognition
Graduates from the Diploma of Fire Technology will be
granted thirty-six compulsory module exemptions and an
Elective Technical Block of module exemptions in the
Advanced Diploma of Fire Technology Management.
Entry requirements
Participants should be able to demonstrate the following
competencies:
read and write at a level that displays emerging
technical knowledge and vocabulary, a developing
personal style, increasing complexity in languge use
and a growing capacity to structure longer pieces of
work;
ability to participate in extended learning exchanges
and exploratory discussions to solve problems;
use and analysis of everyday data, relation and pattern,
number, measurement and shape.
Graduates from the Certificate TV in Fire Technology will
be granted seventeen compulsory module exemptions and
may be granted three elective module exemptions.
Applicants unable to demonstrate these competencies may
be required to undertake preliminary bridging courses or
complete supplementary learning materials.
Mature-age applicants, particularly those with experience
in the industry, will be considered favorably. Applicants
with VCE or higher studies in mathematics and sciences
subjects may gain exemptions from some modules.
Operational firefighters who have completed modules from
the Fire Services' National Modular Training System may
receive advanced standing.
Safety requirements
Appropriate personal protective equipment is required for
all laboratory subjects.
Course availability and duration
