Brief Description: Fire Officer III & IV

Full Description: This is the only Fire Officer III & IV program in Ohio which allows students to receive International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) certification. The course meets and exceeds NFPA 1021, Standards of Professional Qualifications for Fire Officer III and Fire Officer IV. This course is intended for students whose primary responsibilities is as a shift commander or above in their department.

Topics covered include the principles of management theory and its application to the fire service including topics on communications, professional development, community and intergovernmental relations, human resources, legal issues, strategic planning, public education, budget and financial issues and emergency management.

This course is part of the ‘Flipped Classroom’ model, which requires reading and studying material when not on campus for class. Evaluations of student performance will be conducted throughout the course, as well as with a final exam. To receive IFSAC certification for this class students must have certification for their prerequisites or complete the required knowledge and skills examinations for those prerequisites in which they are not certified.

Students admitted to the program who have not completed an accredited (IFSAC or ProBoard) Fire Officer I & II programs will be required to demonstrate competency by passing the Fire Officer I & II exams in addition to the Fire Officer III/IV exam.

If you are a State of Ohio Fire, EMS, or Fire Safety Inspector Instructor certification only (not IFSAC or Pro Board) you are required to you take and pass the Instructor I course completion exam in addition to the Fire Officer III/IV course completion exam.
