Coffee Break Training

Fire and building inspectors with busy daily schedules often don't have time to attend valuable skill-enhancing training sessions. In 2005 the U.S. Fire Administration's National Fire Academy introduced Coffee Break Training. Coffee Break Training is a weekly one-page training notice that provides technical training in fire protection systems, building construction, codes and standards, inspection techniques, hazardous materials and administrative tips. Weekly issues have been compiled into Volumes and those Volumes are being made available through NFA Online. There is an exam following each volume.
