On-Campus Courses
State Weekend
FY 05 State Weekend Program Dates
State Weekend Programs are offered at NFA as an educational opportunity for fire and rescue personnel from specific States to attend 2-day courses. The State Weekend Program strengthens a State's fire service community through education, personal networking, and a shared collegial experience. The State Weekend Program offers students an opportunity to grow professionally through a quality educational experience and to increase their knowledge and skills to provide a safe and effective response to their communities.
State Fire Training agencies sponsor the weekends in cooperation with NFA. The State agency selects the courses and recruits and enrolls the students according to established student selection criteria. The NFA hosts the weekend and provides the instruction and course materials. This program provides a unique opportunity for NFA and State fire training agencies to collaborate in the delivery of a quality training program.
Course materials are provided at no cost to participants. Lodging is provided at no cost to representatives of career or volunteer departments and State/local governments. Meal costs and transportation expenses are the responsibility of the individual participants or the sponsoring agencies.
How to Apply
This program is targeted for fire service personnel with a minimum of 3 years of experience. Those interested in attending a State Weekend Program at the Academy should contact their State Fire Service Training Agency. Participating State systems have information on course content, transportation, and registration requirements.
