| Abstract: | The Netherlands Fire Service, responsible for fire departments across the country, is organized into twenty-five safety regions tasked with fire prevention, crisis preparation, and disaster response. The bevelvoerder education, crucial for qualifying commanders, is managed by Stichting Brandweeropleidingen BOGO (BOGO) for six specific safety regions.The core research question researches the factors influencing the passing rates and the associated costs of the bevelvoerder education in the Oost Six safety regions. By identifying these factors, the research aims to provide actionable recommendations to improve passing rates and offer a clearer picture of the financial investment required for the program. The research is conducted by using a mixed-methods design, by analyzing assessment forms and conducting interviews. The worst scored criterium for the VR exam is criterium 3.6, which is about time-tempo of the incident, the feeling of the interviewees was that they questioned whether the examiners did in fact score the candidates on the level of novice professional, this feeling aligns with that criterium 3.6 is the worst scored criterium. Improvements could be made in the form of provision of correct materials, incorporating more firefighting theme in the assessment, making the ELO more user friendly and not incorporating too much learning goals in the lesson plans. The actual costs are higher than expected and are calculated based on the average amount of re-examinations within the safety regions. |
