FIRE & SAFETEY PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION COURSES

Since then, CFPS has been awarded to numerous people who have demonstrated a level of professionalism through applied work experience, related education opportunities, and successful completion of a certification examination. This group of professionals includes risk managers, loss control specialists, fire officers, fire marshals, fire inspectors, safety managers, fire protection consultants, designers, engineers, code enforcers, facility managers and others who have responsibilities dealing with the application of fire safety, protection, prevention, and suppression technologies. 

 Following the successful creation of the Certified Fire Inspector I (CFI-I) certification program in 1998, further requests by local entities, state agencies, and national organizations prompted the NFPA to develop the Certified Fire Inspector II (CFI-II) certification program.

Like the CFI-I, the CFI-II is based on the NFPA 1031, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner.

NOTE: Entry into the CFI-II certification program requires that you first attain the CFI-I certification.

The goals of this program are to: 

• recognize and provide evidence of competence as related to NFPA 1031, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner
• enhance professionalism
• ensure proficiency in the use of codes and standards
• promote professional development
• ensure a uniform, fair process for certification that is accessible to everyone
