The Ohio Fire Academy offers the only nationally (NFA) and internationally (IFSAC) accredited Fire Officer I program in the State of Ohio. Students will learn essential techniques and skills in leadership including time management, delegation and prioritization in both routine and emergency situations. Students will have the opportunity to put skills to use in practice simulations and role play scenarios. This course is helpful in guiding the firefighter in the transition from peer to officer.

This course meets NFPA 1021, Standards of Professional Qualifications for Fire Officer I. Content includes, but is not limited to, leadership, supervisory and decision making practices, legal responsibilities, communication practices, report writing, workplace safety, quality assurance and pre-incident planning.
