Training Opportunities

SEPAR regularly provides EOC training, Amateur Radio Workshops, and emergency exercises. We welcome new volunteers, especially those who possess technical and radio skills. Please consult the latest issue of the SEPAR newsletter, available from this website, for training dates or visit the SEPAR Event and Training page at www.separ.comm.sfu.ca/current.html

Members are encouraged to take part in SEPAR events and training opportunities. The following are levels of skill that may be attained through our program.


Basic SEPAR Skills

  • Industry Canada amateur radio licensing at the Basic level 

  • Participation with communications at an event.


Intermediate SEPAR Skills

  • Incident Command System BC ICS 100 (JIBC on-line course)

    The Incident Command System (ICS) is a model for command, control, and coordination of emergency response at an emergency site. It provides a way of coordinating the efforts of agencies and resources as they work together toward safely responding, controlling and mitigating an emergency incident.

  • Introduction to Emergency Social Services (JIBC on-line course)

    This course is comprised of two modules - Module 1: Overview of  ESS and Module 2: Personal Preparedness for ESS Workers. Completion of this course is a prerequisite for other courses in Emergency Social Services. It is recommended that Module 1 be completed before Module 2. The two modules together can be completed in approximately three hours. After you have completed each module, use the quiz to assess your knowledge. Feel free to do the quiz as many times as you wish and as often as you need. Thank you for taking the time to volunteer and to participate in the Emergency Social Services Program.

Advanced SEPAR Skills
  • Introduction to Emergency Management (JIBC on-line course)

    No community in British Columbia is immune from the threat of disaster. However, emergency management can decrease the effects of a disaster. Emergency management is the process designed to help communities prepare for disasters, take measures to minimize the effects of a disaster should one occur ("mitigation"), respond effectively to a disaster, and recover as quickly as possible after the event.
