Complete Firefighter Lifelong Training Records
Firefighters generate their own training records as they use the system, which is very different from the tradition of recording training tasks separately from the delivery of training itself. Many hands make light work.
Local Curriculum and Content Control
Course libraries contain courses based on standards, yet leaving courses and content open for local change. By modifying existing content to fit your department’s needs, you avoid “Re-Inventing the Wheel”. Course sharing between FLMS extends this model even further.
Qualifications and Credentials Management
As firefighters progress through and complete entire curriculums of knowledge and skills based assessment and evaluation, qualification requirements are met and recognized within the FLMS.
Training Attendance and Scheduling
The FLMS helps keep firefighters and instructors on track by enabling fire departments to schedule courses and record attendance, accumulating provable recorded training time in the class and on the floor.
Modeled after NFPA 1401 Requirements
FLMS is modelled after NFPA 1401 which represents Training Records and Reports best practice in the fire service.
No Software to Install, No Server to Manage
FLMS is delivered completely online – fire departments do not have to maintain complex technical infrastructures, enabling them to stay focused on the primary mission.
Available via the Internet 24×7
FLMS is available all the time, at home, on the road, wherever you instruct or learn – exactly what the new generation of learners expects.
Browser and Device Independence
PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, whatever your device your modern browser runs from (mobile or desktop), access your department’s e-training system.
WHAT WE DO
The Fire Learning Management System (or “FLMS”) fulfills the need for fire departments to provide life-long learning of knowledge and the continuous acquisition and practice of skills.
Refresh or maintenance training needs to be ongoing with safe and planned supervision. FLMS combines these two needs with a strategic recording and reporting system modelled after NFPA 1401.
Because this responsibility resides within the fire department, the solution needs to be a locally driven one that is available to everyone, all the time, wherever they are.

MASTERING TIME FOR TRAINING
Built By Firefighters
HISTORY
Since 2009 Stillwater Consulting has been helping fire departments modernize firefighter training through the application of e-training technology designed around their unique needs and standards. e-Training combines the knowledge and practical skills requirement, all in one central training system.
Our platform has been designed by fire service instructors to provide capabilities unique to the needs of the fire service. Cost effectiveness, customizability and first class support are central pillars of our service. Training content can be updated at any time and made available to every member of the fire department in real time. In this way an FLMS empowered fire department provides it’s members with up to date standards, regulation and knowledge and skills, improving firefighter safety and performance, reporting evolving learner progress and qualification metrics, while managing risk and liability.

Proof of training through records and reporting are created as the system is used, rather than as a separate data entry task – many hands make light work.
The FLMS fulfills the need for fire departments to provide life-long learning of knowledge and the continuous acquisition and practice of skills.
Each feature solves a need expressed from within an active modern day fire department by fire training and suppression personnel – the users of the FLMS itself.
Developed from within a fire department, the FLMS represents a unique grass-roots solution with a workflow that all fire department personnel have access to.
Reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury through training technology while improving training communications and performance.

As the demand for training accelerates, the CERPS e-learning solution provides a new and important extension of the Ontario Fire College mandate for training and enhanced workplace safety for fire service professionals.
E-Learning at CERPS is self-paced and self-directed in a way that allows students to move through course material at their own pace, when and where they are located.
