    Description
    This course reinforces, combines, and integrates the skills learned in the basic fire academy in accordance with the State Fire Marshal Firefighter I curriculum. Students are provided the opportunity to take the National Capstone tests for International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and National Board on Fire Services Professional Qualifications (Pro Board) certifications. Successful completion of these tests provides the student with the opportunity to apply for employment as a firefighter in the state of California and outside of California with those states that offer reciprocity.
