Look for classes in your area or submit a request (through the IFSI web site) to hold your own class. HOMELAND SECURITY TRAINING IFSI is active in delivering homeland security training and workshops to help communities better plan and prepare for major emergencies. Much of this training is available at no fee to the departments. This training is generally interagency and includes other first responders and government officials to help them meet NIMS training requirements. WILDLAND FIRE FIGHTING TRAINING Through a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), IFSI offers several wildland fire fighting classes that acquaint firefighters with the skills needed to contain and extinguish a wildfire in a rural or urban interface setting. CORNERSTONE PROGRAM Through a close partnership with the Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), the Cornerstone Program provides a variety of classes to aid fire departments to train their members in core emergency response areas. Many of these classes are conducted at local fire departments and at Regional Training Centers. See the IFSI web site for currently scheduled classes in your area, or call your regional representative to schedule a class for your department, association, or division. ONLINE COURSES IFSI s online courses offer students and departments the opportunity to learn right in the fire house and at home. With blended classes, students and departments save on travel and lodging expenses by completing much of the work on the computer then finishing with the hands-on, practical components at IFSI s Champaign campus or at a Regional Training Center. New in is a Rope Rescue Operations Online Class that finishes with an on-campus practical. Visit the ONLINE LEARNING section on IFSI web site for complete details and class listings. EMS CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs) Many IFSI courses are eligible for EMS CEUs. Courses that have been accepted by the Illinois Department of Public Health for EMS CEUs are indicated on the course description pages on the IFSI website. Remember that per Section (2) (A), 77 ILL. Adm. Code 515, no more than 25 percent of those hours may be in the same subject. VETERAN S BENEFITS The State of Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs has approved 12 IFSI courses for reimbursement to qualifying veterans. Visit the IFSI web site for details. COLLEGE CREDIT The University of Illinois and the Illinois Fire Service Institute are located within the Parkland Community College District and have partnered with Parkland College for the benefit of IFSI students. Many IFSI courses receive college credit from Parkland College with no additional effort on the part of the student. Please visit the IFSI website and follow the link under COURSE INFORMATION for additional details, contact information, and frequently asked questions about this program. PRO BOARD ACCREDITATION A number of IFSI courses have been accredited by the Board on Fire Services Professional Qualifications (Pro Board). These courses allow the student to apply for certification from the Pro Board upon successful completion of all IFSI course requirements and prerequisites. While the classes were originally planned to serve Illinois Department of Defense agencies, certification can also be earned by municipal firefighters. This is not a replacement for state certification, but is a certification that is nationally recognized. The process for becoming ProBoard certified varies slightly with each course due to differences between national requirements and state training objectives. For additional information, please contact Associate Director Brian Brauer via at [email protected]. NATIONAL FIRE ACADEMY (NFA) Each year different direct delivery classes are provided by NFA instructors and are delivered at Fire College. Plus IFSI instructors can deliver, at no cost, up to 17 different NFA Handoff courses. IFSI has a number of courses (Fire Officer Series, HazMat Ops, HazMat Tech A and B, and Arson Investigation 1, 2 and 3) that are endorsed by the NFA. Most technical rescue courses and classes such as Fire Apparatus Engineer and Unified Command are also endorsed by NFA. This means the courses have been reviewed by the NFA, and students receive a dual IFSI/NFA certificate. Volunteer fire officers are eligible to attend certain NFA six-day classes in Emmitsburg, Maryland, under the Volunteer Incentive Program (VIP). There is is no charge for VIP courses.
