How To Register

1. Download and fill out the application form legibly and completely, showing course numbers and start date. The ESTC application form can be downloaded HERE. Make certain the application is approved by the Fire Chief or designate. Complete a separate application form for each participant for each course. If there is documentation required (i.e. copies of licenses, certificates, etc.) ensure that the Fire Chief or his/her designate has attested to the fact that the registrant has the required documentation by signing the appropriate section of the application form. Random audits will be done throughout the year to ensure that documentation is available at the fire department.

2. Send in your completed application. Completed and signed forms should be sent:

By e-mail:

Scan the application and send by e-mail to lmartin (at) estc.ca
Applications without Fire Chief or Designates signature will be rejected.

By fax to:

ESTC c/o Fire Department of North Huron
226-523-9501

By courier or mail to:

ESTC c/o Fire Department of North Huron
P.O. Box 1330
369 Josephine Street
Wingham, ON, N0G 2W0

Applications are processed in the order that they arrive in the Registrar’s Office and, in order to increase your chances of being accepted applications should be sent to us as soon as possible. Once the application is received, a spot in the course is tentatively held pending receipt of course payment. When payment is received, the position on the course is confirmed. Positions must be confirmed with payment no later than seven (7) days prior to the course start date. Unconfirmed positions will be replaced with paid applications from the wait list at that point.

Once courses have been tentatively filled we begin to accept applications on wait lists. If cancellations come in throughout the year the fire chief (or his/her designate) of the next candidate on the wait list will be notified immediately. Please note that our Volunteer Firefighter courses often fill up very quickly.

If you want to book a space for your department but are uncertain of the individual you plan to send, you may book a “Vacancy”. Simply put “Vacancy” in place of the student-learner’s name on the application form. Please notify the Registrar’s Office of the name of the student-learner as soon as possible. If you have not sent in an application for the student-learner that is to be filling the vacancy by nine (9) weeks before the start date your vacancy will be rejected and the space will be offered to the next person on the wait list without further notice from the Registrar’s Office.

IF YOU ARE CANCELING
The Fire Chief (or his/her designate) should notify the Registrar’s Office in writing, by e-mail or fax as soon as you realize that your candidate will not be able to attend. We do not accept verbal cancellations. If you wish to send a substitute student-learner, send in an application form at least seven (7) days before he/she attends the ESTC. Please ensure that any substitute student-learner has successfully completed the prerequisite course (if required) and has been given adequate time to complete pre-class material. Cancellations must be received 14 days prior to the start date of the course. Cancellations received after this time will be non-refundable.
