Brief Description: Hybrid version of OFA Fire Officer II course

Full Description: This is the only Fire Officer II program in Ohio which allows students to receive both National Fire Academy and International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) certification. This course is for fire officers in leadership roles for their departments and is designed to meet or exceed NFPA 1021, Standards of Professional Qualifications for Fire Officer II. Students admitted to the program who have not completed an accredited Fire Officer I program will be required to demonstrate competency by passing the Fire Officer I exam in addition to the Fire Officer II 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 II course completion exam.

We will expand on management techniques learned in Fire Officer I and focus on public education and community relations, budget preparation and requests, legal responsibilities, time management, handling conflicts in the fire service, dealing with various media agencies, crew resource management, and emergency operations management.

Students will spend the first five days of the course on campus in the classroom. After this they will return home to complete assignments. This is an intensive program that requires out of class work and students should plan on spending at least 17 hours on these assignments. It is not a sit-and-learn program. This course is designed to meet the standards of NFPA 1021, Professional Qualifications for Fire Officer II and this standard clearly lays out the progressive sequence of becoming a fire officer. Because this is a standards-based course, material will be presented to you from a variety of sources.

Evaluations of student performance will be conducted throughout the course, as well as with a final exam. Students will be required to report to campus once at the end of the course to take their final exam.
