It gave me the ability to meet hiring requirements of many fulltime, integrated departments within the province directly after receiving my diploma, a knowledge base of the physical requirements necessary for applying to many departments as well as the ability to practice and be graded on my success in physical testing among many other lessons of discipline and teamwork which are essential in the fire service.

There are also great opportunities to build friendships with fellow classmates that will last a lifetime in the brotherhood and sisterhood of fire fighting.I would highly recommend the EST program. It is a great way to get well-rounded training within one program that helps you prepare for the number of requirements needing to be met for those looking to find a career in the fire service."
