Wildland Fire Training Options
NWCG and California State Fire Marshalls Office Instruction
Our instructors not only meet requirements, but are well experienced at coordination and instruction of National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) and California State Fire Marshalls Office courses. Our instructors meet all requirements for instruction of all courses we offer.
English and Spanish Instruction
Our instructors have the ability to provide instruction in both Engine and Spanish languages.
Virtual Instruction
Our most cost effective option, virtual instruction offers you the opportunity to have instructor led classes in a virtual environment. Of course, this option is only available for courses in which do not require a field portion or limited group engagement. This would be very similar to a virtual classroom set up.
Hybrid Instruction
Our second most cost effective option, hybrid instruction is a combination of virtual instruction combined with in-person instruction. This option supports courses in which a virtual classroom environment is feasible yet requires field exercise portions and/or other hands on and more in-depth group engagement.
Classic In-Person Instruction
Depending on your location and course to be instructed, this can be our most expensive option. This option provides daily in-person instructor led instruction. This option serves best for courses with extensive group engagement, alot of field or hand on exercises, and in a situation that you would like the best learning environment possible.
