The evaluation of professional competence and preparation of the fire-protection members of the JPO III category within the district of Ceske Budejovice

In my bachelor thesis "The Assessment of the Expertise and the Professional Training of the Members of Fire Protection Units Grade III (thereinafter only FPU III) in the District of České Budějovice" I dealt with the level of expertise of the FPU members according to functions they hold in the unit. The evaluation was done in all fire protection units of the 3rd grade in the district of České Budějovice. Members of these units answered questions in a form of an interview survey. The research comprised 13 out of 17 units active in the district of České Budějovice. Based on the answers from questionnaires, the results showed the level of knowledge of some members well below the average. However, some members shone out with their knowledge. Having carried out testing, the level of expertise of FPU III members proved to differ based on the function they hold in the unit. The optimum limit for this work was set to 80 % of expertise. Results show that only 7 FPU out of 13 investigated units have reached the chosen success rate (provided the right answers to the stated questions) of 80 %, which represents only 54 % of units. The chosen success rate in the testing of expertise, i.e. 80 %, was reached by 7 out of 13 tested commanders of FPU, which amounts to 54 %. The chosen success rate in the testing of expertise, i.e. 80 %, was also reached by 10 out of 13 tested fire-fighter machinists, which amounts to %. The chosen success rate in the testing of expertise, i.e. 80 %, was reached by 28 out of 39 tested members of FPU, which amounts to 72 %
