National Fire Academy On-Line Training Courses are Moving!

News Release Date: August 23, 2006

Emmitsburg, MD. - Dr. Denis Onieal, Superintendent of the U.S. Fire Administration's National Fire Academy (NFA), has announced the NFA on-line training courses ("Q" courses) are moving to a new home on the Web this fall. Currently NFA on-line training courses can be found on the USFA Web site by accessing the NETC Virtual Campus.

"It is important that you know, as a current user of NFA "Q" courses, you will need to submit your 75-5a application form by October 1 in order to receive recognition for your course completion", said NFA Superintendent, Dr. Denis Onieal. "Time is running out! Once we have moved to the new system, any student who has not submitted the 75-5a application form will need to retake the course in order to receive credit and a NFA certificate."

The NETC Virtual Campus and the 75-5a application form can both be accessed through the USFA Web site at www.usfa.dhs.gov/training. Completed application forms can be faxed to 301-447-1601. Upon receipt of the application, successful completion will be verified and a certificate will be issued.

Questions can be directed to joyce.glass@dhs.gov or cathy.broughton@dhs.gov
