The NFA
is mandated under the Fire Prevention
and Control Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–
498) to provide training and education
to the Nation’s fire service and
emergency service personnel. The stateof-the-art programs offered by the NFA
serve as models of excellence and state
and local fire service agencies rely
heavily on the curriculum to train their
personnel. To maintain the quality of
these training programs, it is critical that
courses be evaluated after students have
had the opportunity to apply the
knowledge and skills gained from their
training.
