Welcome to Apparatus Equipped w/ Fire Pump (Pumper Operator) Course / Hybrid Version. This class is slightly over the traditional 32 hour classroom version as much of what you would normally be doing in a classroom with the instructor and other students is done on your own independently and requires the reading of the textbook. Registering for the course confirms that you agree to the following terms of the class;

1. The course opens on March 29^th at 00:01. The course ends and closes on May 31^st at 21:00.
2. The IFSTA Pumping Apparatus Driver/Operator 3^rd Edition is the only text we will be using. You should receive a copy from your Training Officer.
3. To Receive an NOCC from the instructor you must complete all assignments prior to and participate in all of the 2 day exercises on May 16^th and 17^th.
4. You’re agency agrees to send with you or have made arrangements with another participating agency/student to provide a Type 1, 2 or 3 apparatus on June 27^th and 28^th with a qualified apparatus operator/engineer to supervise/coach. It is strongly recommended that to keep the class moving and accomplishing all skills that day that there be no more than 5 students per apparatus.
5. All QUIZZES will be completed. There is 1 attempt at each quiz. You will have 2 minutes per question on each quiz accumulated based on the total number of quiz questions. Quizzes are open book. Scoring 90% or better on a quiz gives you a free pass on NOT having to take the TEST for THAT SAME CHAPTER # ONLY. This is an incentive to read the book and do less work. All assignments will still be completed for each chapter.
6. If you score less than 90.0% on a chapter QUIZ, you must take the chapter TEST for that same chapter. You must retake the test again if you score less than 80%. You are allowed 1 TEST retake for a total of 2 attempts. Your final attempt is your permanent score even if it’s lower than your first attempt. Again, reading the text is important.
7. You must complete the online portion with an accumulative score of 75% or better of all ASSIGNMENTS, QUIZZES and TESTS taken.

Welcome to the Central Oregon Aerial Class. This is the first time that we have had every department participate!

My name is Jason Ellison and I will be your lead instructor. I have been in the fire service for over 25 years. Most of my paid time was on a ladder truck in Clackamas County. Throughout my time I have picked up tips and tricks to make successful aerial operators. I hope you enjoy the class and are able to come away from the class as a competent aerial operator. 

Class will be mostly hands on. You will need to fully complete the ResourceOne online assignments before June 24th.
