 Professional Education Fire Service Leadership AcademyThe Fire Service Leadership Academy at the University of Utah, in partnership with the Salt Lake Fire Alliance, offers fire professionals a comprehensive certificate program for learning key skills and techniques for exemplary leadership within the fire service industry. For those fire professionals who are part of the Officer's Corp or for those poised to get there, this certificate program will help you prepare, improve, or expand your leadership skills and help you gain the professional credentials needed to reach your career goals. The objective of this program is to help fire professionals move from a tactical view to a more strategic, big-picture view. Two phases make up the Fire Service Leadership Certificate Program. The curriculum for each phase builds on the prior phase to provide a total of 80 contact hours. You must complete both phases to receive certification. We currently offer Level I certification; stay tuned for Level II coming in fall 2007. Fire Service Leadership Level I teaches participants the foundation for great leadership, the fundamentals of teams of trust, and how to handle the challenging elements of a leadership position. Fire Service Leadership Level II will kick off with Phase I in December 2007. The Fire Service Leadership Level II Certificate program builds on the skills learned in Level I and addresses the unique educational development needs of fire service professionals who seek to take the next step in expanding their leadership skills and knowledge of global issues that may impact the fire service locally. |
