6 2014 Revised Entry-Level Fire Training Curriculum The revised Entry Level Fire Training Curriculum consists of five (5) separate levels (courses) of instruction, each a prerequisite for the next level (course). The revised 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 Some course topics and information have been added or relocated in the new series. Returning students transitioning into the revised 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 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.
