Categories cont. • It is important to select the appropriate category • PT is not Fire Tactical • Preplans are not Lifesafety • A House fire is not Live Fire. • PT fits under the “PT” category • Preplans are listed as “Preplans” under the Fire Category • A House Fire is a “Working Fire” under the Admin Codes Please Select the best option to document your training

  13. Times and Dates • Please be careful about creating one record for a months worth of training • The Start Date and the End Date should be the same day, except for training that begins before and ends after midnight

  14. Times and Dates • You should enter a separate record for each and every day of training that occurs • In some cases this can create a headache. ie Paramedic School, EMT School, 40 hour classes, etc • In these instances… • Create one record for the day the training begins • Enter the same Start Date and End Date • Change the Hours Worked and Hours Paid to reflect the needed time frame

  15. Same Date 1 Hour Duration Change to Reflect the Hours Need Hours reflected are correct

  16. Basic Information • Most of the remainder of this is self-explanatory • Enter the location for the training, the agency, the station, the type, and the method of instruction • Again, If you are adding to an existing report change your hours when you add your name to the report
