Going To The National Fire Academy (NFA) For The First Time?

Who can attend the NFA?

Any person with substantial involvement in fire prevention and control, emergency medical services, fire-related emergency management activities, or allied professions is eligible to apply for NFA courses.

Applicants for on-campus courses must meet the specific selection criteria for each course. Selection also is based on the impact the applicant will have on the quality of fire protection in the local community, the potential for use of the skills acquired, and equitable and representative distribution from the total fire service.

The National Fire Academy is an Equal Opportunity institution. It does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, color, religious belief, national origin, or disability in its admissions and student-related policies and procedures. The National Fire Academy makes every effort to assure equitable representation of minorities and women in its student body. Qualified minority and women candidates are encouraged to apply for all courses.
