The long awaited 2024-2025 MESC schedule has officially been released! A .pdf version of the schedule is available for download below – the most up to date version will always be available through the MESC website.
HIGHLIGHTS
A few new additions to the course schedule this year include:
- In-person Hazardous Materials Awareness & Operations training (x2) taking place at MESC over two week periods. This is a pilot offering for this year to provide a different format to our usual online blocks. There will still be online blocks for those that prefer this method (x4). Hazardous Materials blocks fill up fast, so please ensure you enroll early.
- More than one Fire Inspector course to help alleviate the backlog and demand for this course, as well as to make up for its postponement in the 2023-2024 schedule.
- Seven (7) Fire Fighting practical weekends.
- Six (6) MESC written dates (happening in both Brandon and Winnipeg for a total of 12 options).
For the Manitoba Fire Service, please remember that although these are college scheduled courses, best practice is to enroll through your district Training Coordinator. This method allows for Fire Chiefs and Training Coordinators to stay in the loop about member enrollments, ensure the proper permissions are addressed, and helps with data collection when it comes time for incentives.
If you have feedback, comments, or questions about the schedule, please do not hesitate to reach out to Student Services at MESC (student_services@mbmesc.ca). Feedback received is taken into account in the development process for the next year.
