Jeonnam Fire Department Fully Suspends In-Person Training at Education Center, Implements 'Remote Education'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Ma Jaeyoon) has completely suspended in-person training at the Fire Education Center and will conduct remote non-face-to-face education.

According to Jeonnam Fire on the 6th, this measure is due to the resurgence of COVID-19 and is intended to prevent the worst-case scenario of training suspension caused by the occurrence of COVID patients during in-person training.

The non-face-to-face education method is operated through educational materials and a remote education platform, allowing real-time conversations and discussions between instructors and trainees in separate spaces.

Park Euisung, Director of Fire Education, stated, “We will make greater efforts to develop non-face-to-face educational content and teaching methods so that there is no learning gap due to the suspension of in-person training.”

Chief Ma Jaeyoon said, “Protecting the lives of the people during disasters is the mission of the fire service,” and added, “We will ensure that there is no disruption in training disaster experts even amid COVID-19 and social distancing.”

Meanwhile, the Fire Education Center conducted training for about 1,300 employees through 31 sessions of 17 courses, including new appointee courses and specialized training for current employees in the first half of this year.
