Jump-start your career! If you’re seeking a position as a career fire fighter in a municipal setting, this program can give you a competitive edge. The NFPA Standard 1001 - Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications - is widely endorsed by departments as a necessary credential for employment. 

Our program curriculum exceeds National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements and includes more practice runs and hands-on skill building. 

Program graduates are eligible to write provincial International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and ProBoard certification exams. 

Time in the classroom is supplemented with live field training plus Lakeland College’s Emergency Training Centre labs. You’ll learn skills beyond fighting structure fires including dangerous goods response and pumping operations.
