Personal training and coaching

It is important that CONANP staff include people who are trained and experienced in fire management. CONANP has provided scholarships so that its personnel can be trained by establishing partnerships with CONAFOR [Comisión Nacional Forestal = National Forestry Commission], which gives these courses in Mexico, and with the U.S. National Forest Service. For the latter courses, CONANP only has to cover travel expenses.

 

Partnerships with CONAFOR and with expert fire management institutions.

 

Availability of staff to learn new things. 

 

 

 

There are many training opportunities, but it is important to have good time management to take advantage of these opportunities. 

 

It is important to invest in these training sessions since they are required so that later on CONANP staff can give front line training to the volunteer brigades.

 

Both men and women can take this training.
