To the applicant – how to become a rescuer?
There is very little time left for current high school students to decide on their future path. The Miory District Department for Emergency Situations shared information on where one can obtain a profession related to ensuring safety and rescuing people.
Those who have decided to dedicate their lives to the profession of a rescuer are invited to the Civil Protection University (CPU) of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Belarus in Minsk.
The university offers training in the specialty "Prevention and Elimination of Emergency Situations" (male students only) and in the specialty "Fire and Industrial Safety" (male and female students). The duration of study is 4 years. Admission requires Centralized Examination (CE) and Centralized Testing (CT) results in mathematics, physics, and the Russian (Belarusian) language. Prior to admission, all candidates must undergo a professional selection process, which includes: conducting special checks, assessing moral and professional qualities, medical examination by a military medical board, and determining the candidates' physical fitness level.
The advantages of studying at the CPU of the Ministry of Emergency Situations are that all cadets are provided with accommodation, meals, uniforms, state insurance, and medical care, as well as a monthly stipend (from 400 Belarusian rubles). During their studies, cadets have the opportunity to learn practical driving and obtain a category "B" driver's license. Upon graduation, students are awarded the officer rank of "lieutenant of the internal service" and are guaranteed employment. Graduates are mostly assigned to their place of residence or to units located nearby.
Applicants who do not pass the competition for state-funded places can participate in the competition for full-time study on a fee-paying basis.
For those who did not enroll in the University of Civil Protection, a good choice would be to enroll in the Polotsk State College of Chemistry and Technology for the specialty "Emergency Prevention and Response," with a full-time study period of 2 years and 7 months on a state-funded basis. The college accepts young men aged 17 to 25 who have a certificate of general secondary education. Dormitory accommodation is provided to all in need.
College graduates receive the vocational qualification of "rescuer-firefighter" and are employed in emergency response bodies and units in positions of enlisted and junior command staff. Upon graduation from college, graduates have the right to enroll in the University of Civil Protection for a shortened part-time study program (study period of 3 years).
