Any accredited training organization, if they receive accreditation from IFSAC, Pro Board, or any state fire academy, has training that meets the applicable NFPA standards, as the accrediting boards take their cues from the appropriate NFPA standard to write their training. Are you sending your personnel to be trained to the technician level or a lower level? And are the personnel you are sending to receive this training, are they already trained to a minimum of Fire Instructor 1, seeing as how you want them to be trainers when they return?
To keep costs to a minimum, I would look starting close to home, such as your state fire academy. Also, keep in mind that you are listing a LOT of training classes, and it might take a year to get everyone trained up to the level you want them to be as trainers.
Brent, yes they have have or will have Instructor 1 and we want them trained to the technician level in all disciplines. Unfortunately our State does not offer a State Fire Academy (Kansas). We realize this is going to take some time to get everyone trained in these areas, but it offers a more cost effective approach than trying to send 30 people.
Your input is appreciated and if you have any recommendations please let me know.
Thank you,
Sal
