Our Team
From the instructors on the front lines to our administrative and support personnel, every staff member at the Emergency Training Centre is dedicated to
one goal: working together to deliver top-quality services that meet the needs of our clients.
Our instructional staff is carefully selected based on a combination of technical skill, practical background, teaching ability and additional certification
in related areas. An extensive roster of associate faculty provides expertise in law, investigative procedures, labour relations, human resources, finance,
medical specialities, and disaster recovery.
Important work also goes on behind the scenes at ETC, where the team includes student services staff, course development specialists and technical
service personnel. Their skills and contributions, from constructing props to writing course handbooks, are equally vital to the quality service that the
Emergency Training Centre provides.

Introduction to Lakeland College Emergency Training Centre
Building on a Proud Tradition
Advisory Committees
Lakeland College Emergency Training Centre (ETC) is located in
Vermilion, Alta. about 190 km east of Edmonton. As a school of the
college, ETC fits Lakeland’s practice of quality hands-on training for
students who are workforce ready.
The Emergency Training Centre relies on feedback from emergency
services professionals to ensure that our training reflects and anticipates
needs of the industry. Advisory committees are in place for all areas of
training and include representation from municipalities, industry and
other post-secondary providers.
The Emergency Training Centre’s history as part of the public college is
short, only going back to 1998 when Alberta Fire Training School became
a subsidiary corporation of the college. However, the two had been
neighbours since the fire training school was established by the province
over a half century ago.
Further Studies
ETC is committed to collaboration with other agencies and organizations
in the emergency services field. Of particular note are our partnerships
with other post-secondary education providers. These offer opportunities
for emergency services personnel to apply their credentials to college
and university-level programs and to seek career advancement. As well,
numerous partnerships have been formed within the private and public
sectors to facilitate development and delivery of training.
ETC has three distinct client groups: pre-professional students,
municipal fire services, and corporations. Training occurs on-site either
at the Emergency Training Centre, at the client workplace and/or through
distance learning.
Training
The Emergency Training Centre offers high quality training. Courses
are taught to the standards of recognized national and international
agencies and regulatory bodies.
Training includes:
• Municipal, industrial, airport and wildland firefighting
• Integrated training for agencies involved in emergency response
• Rescue training including rope, trench, and confined space
• Workplace health and safety
• Emergency services management and administration skills
development
• Emergency preparedness for municipalities, public sector organizations
and industry
• Full-time programs:
• E mergency Services Technology (EST), 1-year diploma program
for career entry to the fire service or emergency medical response
settings
• Firefighter Training Program (FFTP), 12-week program
• Bachelor of Applied Business: Emergency Services,
3.25-year applied degree program
(currently under suspension)
An Integrated Approach to Training
At ETC, no skill is taught in isolation. Courses contain an appropriate
balance of theoretical and practical hands-on content, and are
structured so that each new skill builds upon those previously acquired.
Meteorological, topographical, and man-made variables are added
to ensure realistic training scenarios. As much as possible, training
is integrated to maximize the efficiency of a variety of preparedness
and response agencies, including police, security, emergency medical
services, public works and fire services. The training environment
builds teamwork, and instructors are more than willing to provide extra
assistance to ensure that students learn the skills they need.

Introduction to Lakeland College Emergency Training Centre
Customized Training
Most ETC training can be customized to the specific needs of an
organization. We can help you analyze your training goals, define your
needs and then we can recommend a program that suits your time frame
and budget. Depending on your needs, customized training can borrow
elements from existing programs, develop new components, or use a
combination of both.
The Emergency Training Centre can deliver customized training at its
campus, at your workplace, or at another location that fits your needs.
Development of in-house personnel as trainers can be a very costeffective, long-term solution to an organization’s training needs. ETC
has extensive experience in developing “train the trainer” programs that
equip personnel with the technical and teaching skills to develop and
deliver training programs at their own worksites.
Corporate partnering is another facet of our innovative approach to
customized training. The partnering program allows clients to construct
a specialized prop in cooperation with the Emergency Training Centre and
use ETC expertise to train employees.
Our Business Development Office would be pleased to
discuss your organization’s customized training needs.
Contact us at 1 800 661 6490 ext. 2038 or 8437
or email [email protected].
Facilities and Infrastructure
ETC consists of two training sites. The main training facility, located
in Vermilion adjacent to Lakeland College’s main campus, features a
lecture theatre, Internet-linked classrooms with interactive white boards,
wireless Internet and an extinguisher lab. Apparatus include 11 pumper
trucks, a rescue vehicle, 2 aerial apparatus, 3 ambulances, a pumper/
tender, an industrial pumper, a mobile command post and two buses.
Our training props includes facilities for dry chemical training, technical
rescue props, pumping pits, props that replicate oil refinery scenarios,
two structural towers, an investigation prop, a multi-tier foam prop, a
vehicle fire prop, a dangerous goods pad, a forcible entry prop and a fire
behaviour prop.
For a closer look at our facilities, visit our interactive map online at
www.lc-etc.ca/interactive-map/.
Not far from Vermilion is our remote site, which features extinguisher
training that uses 5-pound extinguishers to 350-pound wheeled units for
municipal, industrial and airport firefighting.

Extinguisher Training
Program Overview
Introduction to Fire Extinguishers
When budgets are tight, it often makes sense to have in-house expertise
for preventive maintenance and to repair valuable equipment. These
courses will be useful for anyone involved in or wanting to learn
about servicing, recharging, testing, repairing and overhauling fire
extinguishers. Those currently working in certified shops or wishing to
enter the industry, as well as private or corporate sector organizations
that want to provide proprietary servicing in their own certified shops,
would also benefit from this course.

Technical Council, meeting the requirements for a certificate of training
as per the Alberta Fire Code. Successful students will be awarded a Fire

This 4-hour course is for administration staff and lay people. Learn the
components of the fire tetrahedron, different types of fire, classes of
extinguishers and their rating systems, and the PASS (pull, aim, squeeze
and sweep) method of using portable extinguishers. Extinguish small

Recreational Opportunities at Lakeland College and around Vermilion
Lakeland College Recreation Centre
Golfing
As students of Lakeland College you have access to all the services
available at the Recreation Centre including:
If you want to keep putting while on course there are two amazing 9-hole
golf courses in the Vermilion area:
• 3000 sq. ft. weight training facility, complete with cardio
and strength training equipment
• 25m pool, steam room, and hot tub
• Gymnasium and climbing wall
• Two racquet courts which can be set up for squash,
racquetball or wallyball
• Outdoor rink
• The Vermilion Golf and Country Club is fairly wide open, but you can get
yourself into some trouble if your ball strays from the centre of the
fairway. To book a tee time or for rates, call 780 853 4444.
For those students in the EST and 1001 programs your student ID card is
your passport to the entire Recreation Centre. Municipal students
attending shorter courses can access the facility by dropping by the
Recreation Centre and requesting a short term pass (for a fee). All you
need to do is inform the front desk at the Recreation Centre that you are
taking a short course at the Emergency Training Centre and they will get
you set up.
Sporting equipment is also available for use on a sign-out basis at ETC:
horseshoes, volleyball, soccer, football, basketball, and hockey.
Rowing
As odd as it might be to find a rowing club on the Prairies, there is
definitely one in the Vermilion community. Lakeland College also has a
rowing team that competes in the fall against teams all over Western
Canada.
If you have any questions, or require more information,
contact our friendly staff at the Recreation Centre by calling
toll-free 1 800 661 6490 ext. 8402 or 780 853 8402.
• The Mannville Golf Course is definitely a challenge, as it is nestled in
the Vermilion River Valley with many twists and turns. The third hole
sports an island green which, for many, means bringing another ball
out of the bag. To book a tee time or for rates, call 780 763 2252.
Bowling
If you are looking at taking it easy and hanging out with some friends,
the Vermilion Bowling Alley is the place for you. Public bowling times vary
throughout the year though the alley is closed July and August. The
bowling alley is licensed and can set up glow bowling for those who like
to bowl in the dark. For more information, contact Striker Lanes at
780 853 4311.
Vermilion Provincial Park
The Vermilion Provincial Park is located approximately one kilometre
north of the college. In the picturesque park you can find numerous
maintained trails for:
• Running
• Biking
• Cross country skiing
• Horseback riding
• Canoeing/kayaking
• Fishing
• Camping
• Mini golf/frisbee golf
• Splash park
The trails go through the trail system in the park and along the Vermilion
River.
