FEDERAL FIRE DEPARTMENT SAN DIEGOPROBATIONARYFIREFIGHTERTASK BOOKEFFECTIVE DATEDecember 27, 2018FEDERAL FIRE DEPARTMENTCAREER DEVELOPMENT TASKBOOKPERFORMANCE BASED SYSTEMThe task book program is a performance based system. This system is one in which the primary criteria forqualification is individual performance as observed by an evaluator using approved standards.Career Development Position Task Books are the primary tool for observing and evaluating performance.These books contain "approved standards" in the form of tasks, which have been established by stafffrom various fire agencies and organizations, including Federal Fire Department.Career Development Position Task Books (PTB) have been developed for various positions within theFederal Fire Department. Each PTB lists the performance requirements (tasks) for the specific position in aformat that allows a trainee to be evaluated relative to written guidelines.USE OF THE TASK BOOKThe PTB program is intended to be used in a manner that demonstrates individual proficiency in a giventask. The value in this is in preparing personnel for successful future position performance.Completion of a task book does not in itself certify an individual to take a promotional exam for thatposition; it certifies that an individual went through the program and demonstrates proficiency in therequired task and was witnessed by an approved evaluator. An individual that desires to participate in apromotional exam for a particular position must meet the requirements set forth by the agency andHuman Resources Department.TIMEFRAME FOR COMPLETING A POSITION TASK BOOKThe time frame that an individual takes to complete a PTB may vary individual to individual. In most cases, thePTB will be completed within 12 months. In no case will an employee be put in a position, acting or otherwise,without having successfully completed the PTB for that position. This does not apply in the case of Firefighter,as the employee is hired prior to the PTB being issued.
