Register for VIP Courses with the National Fire Academy

April 29, 2013

The National Fire Academy (NFA) offers an intensive six-day educational opportunity designed specifically for volunteer fire and emergency service personnel through the Volunteer Incentive Program (VIP). Since most volunteers can’t take two weeks off for traditional NFA courses, VIP provides volunteers a unique educational opportunity without sacrificing any of the content, quality, and integrity. The NFA covers the cost of travel, lodging, student materials, and books. Applications are still being accepted for several courses for the June and September sessions – apply now!

R0816: Community Education Leadership (VIP)

R0826: Presenting Effective Public Education Programs (VIP)
