The certification tracks range from Fire Fighter to Chief Officer. There are forty-nine classes which make up the course study requirements in order to qualify for certification in eleven career tracks. This revenue provides staff, office space and equipment, operates the bookstore, funds advisory committee meetings and curriculum projects when possible.
Fees generated from student enrollments off-set the cost of delivering the classes.
Courses are delivered through registered instructors and may be custom tailored by the instructor to meet each department's specific needs. Upon successful completion of each course, a California State Fire Marshal's certificate of completion will be issued by the instructor.
