- Provide a reliable and streamlined way to record skills maintenance through the Learning Hub
As part of this work, members are invited to complete a short survey to help us better understand their current experiences, challenges and expectations relating to skills maintenance.
This feedback is important and will directly inform the design of a practical and fit-for-purpose framework that reflects the operational needs of our brigades and members.
We encourage all members to take part and share their experiences and insights.
Take the survey
This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete, and members can remain anonymous. The survey is open until 20 July.
Members need to use their CFA account details to log in to the survey rather than a personal email account. If members have issues logging in, please contact the IT service desk on 1800 888 338 or email ict-it-servicedesk@cfa.vic.gov.au
Survey feedback will be used to develop a draft framework, which will then be shared for further consultation and feedback.
Operational Doctrine and Training DCO Rohan Luke encouraged people to share their thoughts.
“We want all members to have a consistent framework to refer to when assessing their level of skills and capability,” Rohan said.
“Brigades across CFA do an outstanding job maintaining their operational skills and demonstrate strong commitment to ongoing training.
“However, there is currently no consistent, CFA-wide approach to how skills are maintained, assessed and recorded.
“Following the development of the framework, we will commence work on developing skills maintenance activities and aligning them with skills and training records in the Learning Hub.”
This project has been developed in response to AFAC recommendation 8: to develop criteria and guidelines for a CFA Skills Maintenance Framework that will provide clear and consistent criteria for skill maintenance and improve how skills maintenance is delivered across CFA.
“Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this important initiative and helping to shape the future of skills maintenance training at CFA,” Rohan said.
