Online delivery: There are technical difficulties with the integration of the courses with the learning management system (LMS) that will be used for the online delivery. We are working very hard to resolve the technical issues. We estimate the LMS courses will be available some time this month (April 2008).

We will post updates as they become available.

Additional Information on these courses:
The courses will be offered through the National Fire Academy Online Learning Management System. The courses are available to NWCG member agency (States, BLM, NPS, USFS, etc.)

A course administrator is required for each student. After completing the online training required by your agency or department, your training officer or fire chief will evaluate required further training including participation in a hosted field exercise day with practical tasks. Your affiliated department can then certify your completion of the training by issuing the final certificate(s) and issue you a red card if you have completed all of the tasks for the position.

Note: NWCG does not issue certificates, red cards, provide course administrators or host exercises/training. These will be provided by your training officer or fire department.

Instructor Certification
The National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) recognizes the increasing emergency response expertise being developed by non-NWCG agencies. NWCG standards for instructors have been modified to recognize the potential for non-NWCG agencies to effectively and consistently help deliver incident responder training. The Field Manager’s Course Guide is being updated to reflect the new guidelines. The NWCG announced the new guidelines in a memo titled, “Instructor Certification,” dated December 18, 2007.
