This project will see the development of training products to align with the workplace outcomes of Firefighting Appliance Pump Technicians.

Firefighting Appliances are operational vehicles used by the Fire and Emergency Services industry-sector. These appliances are designed to extinguish fires, facilitate rescues and provide various other forms of assistance. Consequently, the pumps utilised within Firefighting Appliances require specialised skills and knowledge for maintenance, troubleshooting and fault diagnosis.

In collaboration with the Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC), Public Skills Australia will identify the national practice standards of pump technicians and assist to build industry capacity of this workforce.
