As new modules are added in the future, they will be assigned to the section which best fits their purpose. For those requirements in section 1, the regions and NMC will be responsible for keeping records of the completion of these requirements for their own meteorologist interns. Individual regions will alert other regions and the Office of Meteorology of any such requirements so that consideration can be given to adding them as a national requirement. Thus, the FDP training will remain flexible so new training requirements can be incorporated into the appropriate section. This document lists the modular content of each section of training.
Modules are units of training with their own objectives, study material, and evaluation.
In some instances, blocks of modules are prerequisites to residency training. Some RTMs serve as prerequisites for residence training courses. Others are stand-alone training that address a specialized topic and may consist of a review of a publication or videotape, completion of a workbook, etc. Stand-alone RTMs are not associated with a residence course requirement.
