It is taught in 4 hour and/or 8 hour sessions to meet local scheduling needs.  \nCourse Objectives:  \nThe course prepares the student to perform the duties of an Operations-Level first responder. After completing the course the student will have met the core, personal protective equipment, and product control competencies required for an OperationLevel first responder in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®) 472 Standard, 2013 edition. Non-Fire Service students may elect to forego the Product Control session of the course.  \nStudents who successfully complete the certification process will be certified as an Operations-Level first responder.  \nStudents will gain the knowledge and skills needed to:  \n􀁸 Recognize and identify the clues that determine the presence of hazardous materials  \n􀁸 Obtain additional information about the material and it’s container  \n􀁸 Make decisions and execute first responder actions  \nTarget Audience:  \nThe course is developed for those fire, rescue, emergency medical service (EMS) personnel, law enforcement and other first responders who may respond to incidents involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRNE) or hazardous materials.  \nText  \nThe required text for the course is IFSTA’s Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 4th edition. When and if funded through the sponsoring agency, a copy of this manual will be provided to each student for use during the course.  \nWhile not required, students may find the IFSTA’s Hazardous Materials for First Responders Student Workbook and Hazardous Materials for First Responders Study Guide is a valuable tool to help prepare for each lesson in the course and for the certification exam. The manual, student workbook and study guide are available from IFSTA [https://shop.ifsta.org/](https://shop.ifsta.org/ or)[ or](https://shop.ifsta.org/ or) the Oklahoma Firefighters Museum.  \nInstructor Information:  \nThe course is generally delivered by two experienced instructors, with a background in public or industrial hazardous materials response. Each instructor holds a minimum of Instructor I certification or equivalent.  \nContact information for the instructors will be provided at the first class session. The goal of the instructors is to help you be successful during the course. You should immediately contact a course instructor if you have any questions during your training about the course or course work.  \nCourse Evaluation Strategy  \nEvaluation of learning is accomplished by a combination of formal and informal methods. Formative evaluation is accomplished during each chapter through questions by the instructor and a written quiz at the conclusion of each chapter. Students are provided a written quiz/test for each chapter which will evaluate student’s understanding of the chapter content and concepts. Successfully completing these assignments in addition to the knowledge gained during classroom presentations will prepare the student for the written certification exam.  \nThere are also skill applications in the course. The skill applications are designed to apply the concepts and skills in chapters 8-10. The skill applications may be stations where an instructor provides coaching and demonstration and an individual skill is performed. Working as a member of a team, students are required to successfully complete these skills during scenario based activities.  \nIFSAC and/or ProBoard certification is achieved by successfully completing a written and skills exam administered during the last class session. Additional information about the certification process and retesting for certification can be found on OSU-FST’s website.  \nPre-Course Reading Assignment  \nStudents are assigned Chapters 1-3 of the IFSTA text to read prior to the first class session. In addition, the students complete a quiz provided for each of these chapters","cbCaiq5bEWx7vzCJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq5bEWx7vzCJ","pdf",39521,"English","# Course Duration and Objectives\n## Learning Objectives\n## Target Audience\n# Text and Required Materials\n## Required Text and Optional Workbook/Study Guide\n## Instructor Information\n# Evaluation and Certification\n## Course Evaluation Strategy\n## Certification Process\n# Assignments and Policies\n## Pre-Course Reading Assignment\n## Homework Assignment\n## Academic Dishonesty Policy\n## Course Participation","[{\"question\":\"How long is the Operations Level course and how is it scheduled?\",\"answer\":\"The course includes 40 hours of instruction.
