8 Entry-Level Fire Training Curriculum The current Entry Level Fire Training Curriculum consists of five (5) separate levels (courses) of instruction, each a prerequisite for the next level (course). The entry level fire training curriculum consists of a series of separate programs designed around NFPA 1001 Standard for Firefighter Professional Qualifications Firefighter I and Firefighter II level. The levels are: 1 st Level: Introduction to the Fire Service- ELIS 16 hours o Hazardous Materials Awareness 4 hours 2 nd Level: Fire Ground Support - ELFG 32 hours o NIMS 700 & 100 (Available as online offerings) 3 rd Level: Exterior Firefighting- ELEF 52 hours o Hazardous Materials Operations 24 hours 4 th Level: Interior Firefighter- ELIF 40 hours 5 th Level: Advanced Firefighter- ELAF - 24 hours Recently some course topics and information have been added or relocated in this series. Returning students transitioning into these courses will be updated accordingly during the course of the programs. There is no need for any additional make-up or transition sessions. New students enrolling in the Introduction to Firefighting will be provided an IFSTA Essentials of Fire Fighting and Department Operations; Sixth Edition as part of their tuition. Returning students must bring their own or purchase a new textbook for an additional fee. All students enrolling in the entry level programs should be capable of reading and writing at the minimum of an 8th grade level and capable of moderate to strenuous physical activity. Successful completion of the programs will require students to demonstrate skill proficiency in various tasks associated with being a Firefighter as well as achieve a passing score of at least 70% on an end of class exam. For additional information regarding prerequisites, required equipment and age restrictions, refer to the specific class descriptions. There is no requirement (law) in the Commonwealth mandating Entry Level Fire Training for fire service personnel. Each Fire Department/Company must decide which level of training their personnel should complete in order to be properly trained for their assigned duties. The final decision on the level of training always remains with the fire department/company and its efforts. When the first four (4) levels have been completed and the student meets all the required pre-requisites (including First Aid/CPR), they should be prepared to participate in the Office of the State Fire Commissioner s (OSFC) Voluntary Fire Service Certification program for national certification as a Firefighter I. The Office of the State Fire Commissioner s (OSFC) is the certifying agency within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State Fire Academy is the administering agency for that certification. The previous levels are a prerequisite for the next level (course). When the fifth (5 th ) level (course) is completed and the student meets all the required pre-requisite s (including Basic Vehicle Rescue Awareness and Operations), they should be prepared to participate in the OSFC Voluntary Fire Service Certification program for national Certification as a Firefighter II. The previous fire training levels (courses), Essentials of Firefighting, or nationally certified Firefighter I are all acceptable prerequisites for the fifth level (course)- Advanced Firefighter (ELAF). 8 Shumaker Public Safety Center 2015 Fire Training Calendar (Version 12/18)
