Extremely disappointed with OFAI services still cant believe these guys are used all across the GTA. Its been almost impossible trying to book all the stages when they're only posted every two months. Guys doing the tests have a stick up their a** they think they're top dog and its their way or the highway doesn't matter if you can do quicker and more effectively they're stuck in the old ways. Hope these guys loose this contract soon give it to someone who actually wants to see people pass and not just a money grab

Cool place to check out. Abandoned planes and burned out cars. Oh and fire services too, right.

It's easy to be considered the best in Canada... but in comparison to the USA, it a drop in the pool. Mind you, the funding is much smaller. Small group of guys for the OFAI testing and the culture reflects the general fire service. They are in the boys club and you can see the comments and looks when a young woman is breaking her back to pass... and the club silently (but very obviously) disapproves. You can smell it. In the end, who else will they get to work this job?.. The senior staff is AMAZING and the coordinators and super professional and friendly. I guess with age, comes a lack of ego in this instance.

I've heard excellent things about the program from firefighters as well as graduates however trying to schedule a visit or receive a call back from reception is a disaster. We've been trying for nearly 2 months to book a site visit through our high school. Rarely is the phone answered and leaving a message is pretty hopeless. The person responsible for reception and admissions doesn't return calls and doesn't follow up on anything with respect to student visits. Should I be successful in booking a site visit for prospective students I will update the review. We have put in calls from 3 separate people, left multiple messages and have only received a call back on one occasion.

I attended FESTI's blended program which consists of an online component and 4 weeks in school instruction (I would say in class but you're rarely in class!! Out on the fireground practicing your skills). The experience was amazing! The instructors are top notch with a wealth of knowledge and really ensure you know what you need to know. I was lucky to work with such a great group of classmates who came together quickly in our crew teams. We were all sad to leave but excited to take the next steps towards pursuing our careers in firefighting. Cannot hesitate to recommend this program enough!
