Incident Management training

[Jonah]

Just out of interest, how do your various brigades deliver incident command training that is role specific. For instance, under IPDS module 008 Incident Command 1 applies to crew and watch managers, as does WM 7 under the NOS standards.
However, we expect a different level of performance from a watch manager when dealing with operational incidents, examplified by the fact that certain calls will attract the attendance of a watch manager, indicating it is beyond the expected level of skill and responsibility that a crew manager possesses.
Has anyone experienced a system where these different levels are quantified and applied to IC training for the different roles?

No basically, it tends to be a bit ad hoc. It's a shame that it's not possible for all OIC's to attend the IMF course at Moreton. It is excellent and highlights great deficiencies in "on the job" training.

In the North East Region there is a CM managaing incidents course (3 weeks) and then a WM MI (3 days - covering additional responsibilities that come with multi-appliance incidents). SMMI is presently being looked at as regional course to replace the FSC SMMI.
