The Firefighter I & II program is a 492 hour course. This program meets the requirements for certification as a firefighter set forth by the Bureau of Fire Standards and Training State Fire Marshal Office. Included in the Firefighter I & II Programs are the written and practical portions of the State Firefighters I & II Certification Examinations. This challenging program combines instruction (ladder usage, hose layout, hazardous materials, extrication and breathing apparatus) and field related activities.

The EMT program provides recruits with the training and skills needed to become nationally certified through the National Registry of EMT (NREMT) and state certified through the Florida Department of Health. Recruits are required to perform all designated tasks, in simulated hazardous and non-hazardous situations. Additionally, recruits must attend state-mandated clinical rotations, which are conducted in accordance with local hospitals and fire-rescue agencies.

The Firefight I & II program is offered as both full-time and part-time classes, day and evening. The EMT program is offered as full-time daytime course.
