+==== Skills ====
+Portuguese Firefighters & Red Cross use a common standard for human resources skills defined by the Ministry of Health, which is certified by attending the requisite hours of training & passing both written & practical exams.
+
+Skills are re-credentialled every 6 months:
+ * checking minimum time of active duty (275 hrs)
+ * a managerial performance rating: pass/fail
+& 12 months:
+ * checking minimum time of training (70 hrs)
+ * a managerial performance rating: 1 (unfit) to 5 (well fitted for the work)
+  * need at least 4 points for 5 years to be promoted in rank
+ * attended refresher training course
+ * Drivers have other standards (psycho-technical assessment every year)
+
+Skills:
+ * Firefighter/EMT (150 hr course)
+ * Firefighter/EMS (500 hr course inc some medical training and advanced life support)

+<apocsantos> portuese standards for emergency personel are all clearly defined by law, and eveyone has diferente ID numbers for each specific trainning and an identification card
+<apocsantos> for example my EMT Card Uniq Identifyer is 36031
+<apocsantos> there is no-one in portugal not firefighter or from any other organization with the same EMT Trainning Certification Number
+<apocsantos> all the "credential system" is based on uniq identifyers that can be "cross-check" bettween databases

+<apocsantos> they can radio in the ID's an have my credentials validated
