However, because of accident liability, hands-on experiences are limited to in-service personnel. |
| Required and Elective courses for this certificate
are the same as those for the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Fire Science. Students who complete this certificate may later qualify for the AAS
degree by also completing the general education requirements for that
degree. |
