Certificate in Public Safety Communications at Kwantlen Polytechnic University is offered for 1 year.
This program is offered on a full-time basis.
This program is offered on campus.
This unique, 8-month program prepares students for a growing industry that requires professionally selected and trained public safety communicators.
A public safety communicator's expertise means the difference between life and death for a caller.
Rapid technological changes, as well as greater social and cultural diversity, have heightened the need for communicators who can successfully function under considerable pressure.
The role of the public safety communicator is that of a "first" First Responder as they are the first point of contact for the public to emergency services.
While the duties performed by communicators vary considerably according to the function and structure of the organization, there is a simple common element: the communicator critically links the public to those who provide police, fire, and emergency medical assistance.
Students will apply the knowledge they learned throughout the program by performing as Emergency Call Takers and Dispatchers in the Simulated Communications Centre on the Cloverdale campus.
