Credentialing is valid for 3-years.
The Continuing Education component is designed to encourage that new achievement is made during each
consecutive 3-year period. This includes remaining current and active with organizations and committees and by
keeping your certifications current, if they require continuing education. The goal is to assist the credentialed Fire
Prevention Officer in maintaining a higher level of professionalism within the fire service after initial
credentialing.
