What you'll learn
Continue advancing toward your firefighting career with this this Firefighter and Emergency Services II microcredential! The second in a two-part microcredential series, this microcredential series is designed to ready you for the academic requirements of being a NYS firefighter (there is a 15-credit course eligibility requirement for the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) exam). This second microcredential provides you with essential skills in risk management and the National Fire Protection Association 1710 and 1720 standards for fire suppression, emergency medical operations and special operations by volunteer or career fire departments. You will also hone your leadership and supervisory skills, learning strategies and effective communication skills for building positive relationships with public officials and communities. Note: A student who holds a valid FF I certification, accredited by the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, can submit the original certificate to the Records Office for validation toward credit for prior learning for parts of this microcredential. Firefighter certifications from other States will be accepted upon evaluation. Depending on your prior level of education and experience, successful completion of this microcredential will prepare you to apply to the FDNY or to continue your studies in the Firefighter and Emergency Services II microcredential.
