    The University of Kansas Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute September 2005 Fire Chief Certification Exam Site Host Department Dear Chief, Thank you for hosting the certification test scheduled at your fire department in the near future. The Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute has to depend on the local fire department’s support for equipment and facilities in order to conduct National Certification Exams in communities throughout Kansas. By conducting these exams in local communities we avoid extensive travel being required of the fire fighters in order to participate. The trade-off of that process is that we have to rely on the local fire departments to provide the fire fighting equipment normally used in these exams. The core equipment required is the same equipment available on any apparatus meeting the NPFA 1901 Standard for Fire Service Pumping Apparatus. There are a few items that are not typically “on hand” at local fire departments. We ask that local fire departments make tentative arrangements for these items so that the items can be acquired with only a couple of days notice. This process is required in order to maintain confidentiality as required of us by accreditation criteria. A couple of working days prior to the test, you or your designated representative will be contacted by our office and notified of any unique equipment that will be needed for the exam. The Institute will be responsible for reasonable costs associated with these items as authorized by the Institute’s Certification Manager. Each test site will require a classroom with appropriate seating and tables to support the number of applicants taking the examination.

The instruction is certified for interagency use and is known as: Receiving and Distribution Manager, J-253 Certified at Level I This product is part of an established NWCG curriculum. It meets the COURSE DEVELOPMENT AND FORMAT STANDARDS- Fifth Edition, 2001 and has received a technical review and a professional edit. Description of the Performance Based System The NWCG Wildland and Prescribed Fire Qualifications System is a "performance-based" qualifica­ tions system. Inthis system, tbe primary criterion for qualification is individual perfonnartce as observed by an evaluator using approved standards. This system differs from previous wildland fire qualifications systems which have been "training based." Training based systems use tbe completionoftraining co'Urses or a passing score on an examinationas a primary criteria for qualification. A performance-based system has two advantages over a training based system: Qualification is based upon real performance, as measured on tbe job, versus perceived performance, as measured by an examination or classroom activities. Personnel who have learned skills from sources outside wildland fire suppression, such as agency specific training programs or training andwork in prescribed fire, structural fire, law enforcement, search and rescue, etc., may not be required to complete specific courses in order to qualifYin a wildfire position. 1.
