Crosswalk of NFA Courses and NFPA Standards
Since its inception in the early 1970's, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Professional Qualification series has identified the competencies necessary to perform the various positions within the service. Since early 1980, these standards have also been the cornerstone for state certification programs.
As the professional qualification series has grown, it is becoming increasingly difficult for firefighters or departments to find the necessary time to accomplish these levels of competency. Further, some states require attendance from an approved training program before an individual is eligible to take the certification exam.
The Crosswalk of NFA Courses and NFPA Standards Database, available in Microsoft Access format, identifies NFA courses used by TRADE organizations, identifies other NFA courses that could be used towards state certification or fire departments seeking competency based training, and relates these courses to the applicable NFPA professional qualifications standards.
