1:30 PM – 3:00 PM
This presentation will examine several NFPA standards to demonstrate not only their applicability to training but also to help you understand the purpose, requisite knowledge, and abilities related to the Job Performance Requirements (JPRs). We will discuss and show how you can integrate NFPA standards to strengthen the delivery and documentation of your training. We will also explore various curriculums that can enhance your training programs.
Remember, the “dirt lot” is the standard, the “slab foundation” is the curriculum, and how you build your “walls” is up to you! Do you want your “house” built of straw, sticks, or bricks? If you are a Company Officer or Training Officer who aims for durable, well-built training, this program is designed for you.
