WEB SITE www.fsi.illinois.eduIFSI’s web site is your main source of information about class offerings and schedules. An interactive state map enables you to click on your county to see what classes are available near you. The web site also offers online registration for Fire College and many other classes. Check the website regularly for updates and to check for newly added classes in your area or on topics that will help you advance in skills or knowledge.

IFSI LIBRARYThe IFSI Library is part of the state library system and provides you and your department access to training aids and other resources. Check IFSI’s Library web site for available resources and access to the “Illinois Firefighter Line of Duty Deaths Digital Database.”

DOWN AND DIRTY TRAINING PROGRAMThanks to funding from the Illinois Firefighter’s Association, IFSI has produced and distributed a series of “Down & Dirty” training packages on Firefighting Skills, Engine & Pump Operations, Rural Water & Tender Operations, Fireground Support & Aerial Operations, and Fire on the Farms. Fire Attack Operations will be forthcoming.

WINTER FIRE SCHOOLThe two day 2017 Winter Fire School (January 28-29, 2017) will be held in the Learning Resource and Research Center. Registration opens November 2, 2016. Mark your calendar for the 2018 Winter Fire School (January 27-28, 2018).

FIRE COLLEGEThe Annual Illinois Fire College, which began in 1925, is the oldest continuous fire school in the nation. This four-day event (June 1-4, 2017) brings together nearly 500 students and instructors from around the country. It provides both hands-on and classroom sessions for career and volunteer firefighters and officers. Registrations for 2017 open April 2, 2017. Online registration is the best way to assure you get the classes you want. What can you learn to bring back to your department?

EXPLORER-CADET HANDS-ON TRAINING SCHOOLThis four-day event of hands-on training and leadership introduces youth from ages 15 to 21 to fire service careers. The annual event takes place July 13-16, 2017.

PROPANE (LP) FIRE TRAININGThe Illinois Propane Education and Research Council (IPERC) provides funding for IFSI to deliver life liquefied propane (LP) fire training to local fire departments at no fee to the department. Look for classes in your area or submit a request (through the IFSI web site) to hold your own class.

NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEMIFSI is active in delivering NIMS/ICS training and work-shops to help communities better plan and prepare for ALL emergencies. Much of this training is available at no fee to the departments. This training is generally interagency and includes other first responders and government officials, to help them meet NIMS training requirements.

WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING TRAININGThrough a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), IFSI offers several wildland firefighting classes that acquaint firefighters with the skills needed to contain and extinguish a wildfire in a rural or urban interface setting.

CORNERSTONE PROGRAMThrough a close partnership with the Illinois Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM), the “Cornerstone Program” provides a variety of classes to aid fire departments to train their members in core emergency response areas. Many of these classes are conducted at local fire depart-ments and at Regional Training Centers. See the IFSI web site for currently scheduled classes in your area, or call your regional representative to schedule a class for your department, association, or division.

ONLINE COURSESIFSI’s online courses offer students and departments the opportunity to learn right in the fire house and at home. With blended classes, students and departments save on travel and lodging expenses by completing much of the work on the computer then finishing with the hands-on, practical components at IFSI’s Champaign campus or at a Regional Training Center. Visit the ONLINE LEARNING section on IFSI web site for complete details and class listings.

VETERAN’S BENEFITSThe State of Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs has approved 12 IFSI courses for reimbursement to qualifying veterans. Visit the IFSI web site for details.

EMS CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS (CEUs)Many IFSI courses are eligible for EMS CEUs. Courses that have been accepted by the Illinois Department of Public Health for EMS CEUs are indicated on the course description pages on the IFSI website. Remember that per Section 515.590 (2) (A), 77 ILL. Adm. Code 515, no more than 25 percent of those hours may be in the same subject.

PRO BOARD ACCREDITATIONIFSI is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications and offers Pro Board certifi-cates for many IFSI courses.

With The Pro Board accreditation, students are assured that the development and administration of IFSI’s written and skills-based tests are to the highest quality and are consistent with national standards. The Pro Board accreditation also affords greater portability of certificates - certificates received from IFSI may be accepted by other accredited agencies across the country.

The certificates are nationally recognized and allow for standardization of responder testing across the country; simply put, the Pro Board is the firefighting equivalent of the National Registry for EMTs and Paramedics. IFSI is approved for various levels.

For additional information, please visit the IFSI web site at www.fsi.illinois.edu.

NATIONAL FIRE ACADEMY (NFA) Each year different direct delivery classes are provided by NFA instructors and are delivered at Fire College. Plus IFSI instructors can deliver, at no cost, up to 17 different NFA “Off-Campus” courses.

IFSI has a number of our courses, (Fire Officer Series, HazMat Ops, Technician, and Arson Investigation 1, 2 and 3) that are “endorsed” by the NFA. This means the courses have been reviewed by the NFA, and students receive a dual IFSI/NFA certificate.

Volunteer fire officers are eligible to attend certain NFA six-day classes in Emmitsburg, Maryland, under the Volunteer Incentive Program. There is no charge for VIP courses.

More details are available on the IFSI web site at www.fsi.illinois.edu.
