Our Academy
Now I am a cadet of the Civil Defence Academy of Ukraine. My future profession is a fire prevention engineer. I like my future profession. This profession is very difficult but important for our society. The aim of Fire Protection service in every country is to protect peoples' life and property from fire.
Our Government pays special attention to the consolidation and reorganization of country's fire-fighting service. Fire-Protection Service has a long way from primitive horse-drawn strings of carts to modern fire-fighting equipment.
The goals of Fire-Fighting Service are not only to put the fire out, but to prevent it. In industry and agriculture they have volunteer fire-brigades. New fire educational establishments have appeared in the country. One of them is the Civil Defence Academy of Ukraine.
The history of our Academy began on July 17th, 1928 when All-Ukrainian Fire Technical Courses with six months' period of training were opened by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of Ukraine. In 1935 the Courses were reorganized into the Kharkiv Fire Training Secondary School. The period of training was only one year. In 1946 the Secondary School was reorganized into the Fire Technical School with three years' period of training. In 1992 the Fire Technical School into the Kharkiv Fire Safety Institute. The period of training was five years. In 2002 the Kharkiv Fire Safety Institute was reorganized into the Fire Safety Academy of Ukraine.
During these years the educational establishment had different names. And the high standard of the teaching and training the specialists for Fire Service has not been changing
Nowadays it is a modern educational establishment with the considerable teaching, scientific, material and technical basis. Highly-qualified academic staff teach the future specialists of fire and rescue service.
Academy fulfill teaching for five specializations at the 5 faculties within the specialty Fire Safety. They are: Fire Prevention, Fire and Rescue Operations, Automated Management Systems and Fire Service Dataware, Fire Alarm Installations and Technological Automated Machinery, Fire Protection and Life Safety. Teaching is accomplished according to the state educational qualification standards - Bachelor, Specialist, and Master.
In 2002 the new specialty Psychology was opened. It must compensate for a deficiency in the personnel officers and workers.
