Online Pre-Course Work

Pre-course work is required for some NWCG courses prior to attendance to ensure students have the required prerequisite knowledge to succeed in that course. Do not attempt any pre-course work unless directed by your course coordinator or instructor for the course that you applied. Once being directed to do so, completing pre-course work does not qualify you for a position. Please follow guidance in the PMS 310-1 for information on how to qualify for fire positions.
