The framework is designed around skills students will be required to demonstrate in an actual Firefighter 1 entry level fire academy. Passing this course does not automatically grant the student certification; however, it is intended to help prepare the student of the Firefighter 1 certification process. Students should be prepared to participate in rigorous physical activity and expect to be exposed to a variety of physically and emotionally challenging situations. As a critical component of the curriculum, this class will adopt an increased level of classroom structure and individual discipline.
