Complete Guide to Accredited Fire Schools

Complete Guide to Accredited Fire Schools

FireLink.com / USFA

In response to a large number of questions we receive about fire academies, we have adapted a list of schools accredited by the National Fire Academy (NFA). These schools are categorized by college-based training, associate’s degrees, degrees at a distance program, bachelor’s degrees, and graduate degrees.

The programs listed below will be supplemented in the near future by national accrediting associations recommended by FireLink.
