The Firefighter Career Certificate (C.C.) prepares students to meet the requirements for the State of Florida standards for Firefighter I/II. The course provides fundamental information on fire department operations. Students are trained in the performance of the duties of a firefighter during both emergency and non-emergency operations. This training includes hazardous materials, vehicle extrication, wildland, ropes, ladders, and extinguishing fires. Upon successful completion of the program, students who meet all graduation requirements are eligible to test for the state certification exam with the Bureau of Fire Standards and Training, which consists of a written and practical test.
