CFAI Basic Workshop Series

The CFAI Basic Workshop Series includes two workshops, held over the course of three days, that are required for agency accreditation managers and highly encouraged for agency heads and all members of the agency accreditation team.

CFAI Self-Assessment Workshop (2 days)

This 16-hour workshop assists fire and emergency service leaders in preparing for and working toward accreditation through a unique self-assessment model. This workshop provides valu-able information on conducting an agency self-assessment and how to prepare for an on-site peer assessment visit.

CFAI Basic Standards of Cover (SOC) Workshop (1 day)

This eight-hour workshop equips fire service personnel to rationally plan for and justify various levels of service. The workshop uses an overview of resource deployment planning and commu-nity risk analysis to cover the latest tools for calculating and analyzing risk and the latest proc-esses for mapping deployment and deployment coverage areas, such as Geographic Information System (GIS) software packages.
