Humber’s Emergency Telecommunications certificate program gives you the skills to work in answering the most important calls a person may make. Emergency services responders depend on emergency telecommunicators to get detailed information quickly and accurately. In just 15 weeks (one semester), learn the specialized knowledge and skills required to work in the public safety/emergency services field. The program is designed in consultation with – and is supported by – police, fire and emergency medical services (ambulance services). Courses are taught by faculty who work in the field, ensuring what you learn is current and relevant.
You will learn call management, orientation to pre-hospital care, crisis intervention and professional issues, equipment/lab operations and systems management, and professional communications. Graduates of this program will be part of a highly specialized workforce. Various safety/emergency service employers offer professional certification through the completion of on-the-job training. |
