The Emergency Services Certificate of Proficiency is designed for individuals who are seeking entry level careers that are related to the emergency services (Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement, and/or Security). The primary focus of the certificate is to provide an entry-level foundation to better prepare for a career in the emergency services. The technical core of the program focuses on the knowledge and skills required to effectively operate within the incident command system during emergency situations as well as handling of daily operations. The competencies and course content has been developed with significant consideration of the coursework developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as well as State and local emergency services organizations.
A Certificate of Proficiency will be awarded upon completion of the certificate with a 2.0 GPA and a “C” or better in all required courses and electives.
