Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the refresher and the full fire training course?

The refresher is a condensed two-hour, hands-on session for people who already hold, or have recently held, CPPFES2005. You still complete and are assessed against the full unit of competency, so you receive the same nationally recognised Statement of Attainment, just in a shorter session than the full course.

Am I eligible for the refresher?

You are eligible if you can show prior competency in CPPFES2005 gained within the last three years. Bring a copy of your USI transcript showing the unit, or a previous Statement of Attainment. You will also need a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI). If your last competency is older than three years, we recommend the full course.

Is this a credit transfer or recognition of prior learning (RPL)?

No. This is the full unit of competency delivered as a refresher, not a credit transfer or RPL. You complete the hands-on practical assessment on the day and are assessed against the current CPPFES2005 unit.

How long does the refresher take?

About two hours, hands-on with portable fire extinguishers, fire hose reels and fire blankets, delivered in person at our Bibra Lake or Cockburn Central centres (or on-site by arrangement).

Is the certificate nationally recognised?

Yes. On successful completion you receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for CPPFES2005 Demonstrate First Attack Firefighting Equipment, the same qualification issued for the full course.

What do I need to bring on the day?

Bring valid photo ID, your USI transcript or a previous Statement of Attainment as evidence of prior competency, and appropriate clothing including long pants and closed-toe footwear. All firefighting equipment is provided by STES.
