These courses meet/exceed NFPA 1670 and NFPA 1006, and certification is valid for 5 years from the course completion date.
Customized Academies can be conducted at the request of Fire, Rescue, EMS, and/or Law Enforcement agencies. Customized Academies require 4 days of instruction and are dependent upon availability of local lodging, facilities, and faculty, with a minimum enrollment of 6 instructor candidates.
