BCIT Marine Campus, in cooperation with the Justice Institute of BC (JIBC), offers training in marine firefighting at the Fire & Safety Training Centre (JIBC-FSTC) in Maple Ridge, BC.
Facilities at the JIBC-FSTC include classrooms, a ship mock-up, railway tank cars, firefighting training pads, a smoke house, pumper truck, road trailers, oil and chemical spill simulations.
You will learn Marine Basic and Advanced First Aid - one of the many requirements to work in the marine industry - at the Academy of Emergency Training.
BCIT Marine Campus signed a partnership training agreement with the BC Ferry Services to deliver a series of both Transport Canada and company-specific courses to BC Ferries. This agreement has been a number of years in the making, and will give BCIT the status of being BC Ferries’ main supplier of marine training in BC. It is the only such agreement BC Ferries has signed with a training provider.
BCIT Marine Campus is pleased to work with Q3 Marine Training Solutions to offer Fast Rescue Boat courses that are approved by the US Coast Guard and Transport Canada to fulfill all STCW requirements.
