WEB SITE
www.fsi.illinois.edu
IFSI’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 LIBRARY
The 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 PROGRAM
Thanks to funding from the Illinois Firefighter’s Association,
IFSI has produced and distributed a series of “Down & Dirty”
training packages on Fire Fighting 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 SCHOOL
The two-day 2016 Winter Fire School (January 23-24, 2016)
will be held in the Learning Resource and Research Center.
Registration opens November 3, 2015.
FIRE COLLEGE
The Annual Illinois Fire College, which began in 1925, is the
oldest continuous fire school in the nation. This four-day
event (June 4-7, 2015 and June 2-5, 2016) brings together
nearly 1,000 students and instructors from around the
country. It provides both hands-on and classroom sessions
for career and volunteer firefighters and officers. Registration for 2015 opens April 7, 2015. 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 School
This 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 Mid-June 2015 in Champaign.
PROPANE (LP) FIRE TRAINING
The 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.
HOMELAND
SECURITY TRAINING
COLLEGE CREDIT
WILDLAND FIRE
FIGHTING TRAINING
PRO BOARD ACCREDITATION
IFSI is active in delivering homeland security training and
workshops to help communities better plan and prepare
for major 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.
Through a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural
Resources (IDNR), IFSI offers several wildland fire fighting
classes that acquaint firefighters with the skills needed
to contain and extinguish a wildfire in a rural or urban
interface setting.
CORNERSTONE PROGRAM
Through 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 departments 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 COURSES
IFSI’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. New in 2015 is a Rope Rescue
Operations Online Class that finishes with an on-campus
practical. Visit the ONLINE LEARNING section on IFSI web
site for complete details and class listings.
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.
VETERAN’S BENEFITS
The State of Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs has
approved 12 IFSI courses for reimbursement to qualifying
veterans. Visit the IFSI web site for details.
The University of Illinois and the Illinois Fire Service Institute
are located within the Parkland Community College District
and have partnered with Parkland College for the benefit
of IFSI students. Many IFSI courses receive college credit
from Parkland College with no additional effort on the part
of the student. Please visit the IFSI website and follow the
link under COURSE INFORMATION for additional details,
contact information, and frequently asked questions
about this program.
A number of IFSI courses have been accredited by
the Board on Fire Services Professional Qualifications
(Pro Board). These courses allow the student to apply
for certification from the Pro Board upon successful
completion of all IFSI course requirements and prerequisites. While the classes were originally planned to serve
Illinois Department of Defense agencies, certification can
also be earned by municipal firefighters. This is not a
replacement for state certification, but is a certification
that is nationally recognized.
The process for becoming ProBoard certified varies
slightly with each course due to differences between
national requirements and state training objectives. For
additional information, please contact Associate Director
Brian Brauer via email at [email protected].
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 “Handoff” courses.
IFSI has a number of courses (Fire Officer Series,
HazMat Ops, HazMat Tech A and B, and Arson Investigation
1, 2 and 3) that are “endorsed” by the NFA. Most technical
rescue courses and classes such as Fire Apparatus Engineer
and Unified Command are also endorsed by 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 (VIP). There is is no charge
for VIP courses.
More details are available on the IFSI web site at
www.fsi.illinois.edu.
