Core modules include:
- First aid and emergency care
- Radio communication
- Fire safety and basic fire fighting
- Search and rescue techniques
- Boating and water safety
- Map reading and navigation
- Field craft and camping
- Leadership and instructional training
Electives can include:

- Bronze Medallion
- Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Voyage
- Adventure Based Courses/Activities
- The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
- Train Small Groups
- TL3 or power boat courses
The Fire and Emergency Services Authority of WA (FESA) is the host organisation of the ESC program and units work closely with the Fire and Rescue Service, State Emergency Service, Bush Fire Service and Volunteer Marine Rescue Services.
