Benefits of Membership

The AFTOA endeavours to help connect, develop, and support fire training officers and instructors so they may best provide training for their organization and its members.

Through our membership services, we strive to:

  • To make available technical information, resources and guidance with the goal of improving education province wide

  • To promote, inform and advise on uniform training practices for the Fire Service

  • To encourage the development of consistent fire service performance standards

  • To study, advise or advocate on areas of mutual interest to the Fire Service, particularly in the field of training

  • To act as liaison on training matters with other associations, in keeping with the best interest of the Province and the regions served

 

We are continually developing valuable services for you and your municipality through educational directives, inventive and effective communications, networking opportunities, peer and research support, discounts on services through industry members/partners and a voice to influence political decisions and policies that impact the fire service.
