We will aid, assist, and in every way guide any FD or group through how to set up classes, BUT the sponsor must understand one important fact: The sponsor will be billed $50 for each position less than 15 students by the college. The Community Colleges will provide a wide variety of training classes, both as part of the Pennsylvania Fire Academy programs and some outside of the Academy. Their funding is dependent on the number of students trained. Therefore, they have all adopted policies to offset the costs of classes that are too small. This fee was not adopted lightly, nor without regrets on their part. Before setting up a course, please contact us and we will set the information up on this site. You can then examine the interest and provide the appropriate follow-through. |
