IFSAC- Pro Board Certification Course

Course Description:
This course is designed for the first-line company officer/supervisor. The Fire Officer I course satisfies the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 1021), and provides the tools necessary to obtain certification through the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control.
Candidates will attend lectures Monday through Friday to prepare for the written exam and will be developing a Job Performance Requirement (JPR) portfolio on-site and are expected to complete additional JPRs at the conclusion of class. It is designed around classroom lectures and group exercises to improve your abilities to manage a single fire company. This includes responsibilities such as the development of an Incident Action Plan (IAP), personnel management, mentoring, and community relations.
Prerequisite: Attendees must be current Colorado State Certified Firefighter II and Fire Instructor I.

Attendees must bring textbook:  Fire & Emergency Services Company Officer (6th  Edition, IFSTA).
 

Students will be given a pre-course assignment of completing 2 JPRs in written format that they must bring with them on the first day of the class on Monday September 22nd.  That morning, each student will be paired with a proctor to discuss the evaluation of their JPRs and any necessary changes to formatting and content.  Some JPRs will be evaluated during the week of the course.  At the conclusion on Thursday, students will be given an assignment to complete the rest of the JPRs assigned to them and will have until Oct. 24th to submit all of their completed JPRs to their proctor prior to sitting for their exam. Failure to submit final JPRs will result in candidates being required to submit all JPRs in traditional format for review.



Class Schedule:
Important!  Course Runs 0800 to 1700 Sept. 22-26, 2025 with JPR assignments due NO LATER THAN CLOSE OF
BUSINESS OCT 24th. Written exam may be scheduled only after completion of practical.
