The ACI Online Learning Centre (OLC) has released a new certificate-level course in Airport Rescue and Firefighting Services. The 11-hour online program will enable airport rescue and firefighting services (RFFS) managers, airport RFFS personnel, aerodrome operator management and staff, representatives from local emergency agencies, personnel responsible for training and overseeing ARFF personnel and anyone interested in a career in airport firefighting, operations and safety to better understand best practises for efficient management of an airport RFSS.  

The online course provides recommendations that can be implemented to: 

• Ensure compliance with international and national legislation and regulations
