Accreditation

Allan Hancock College is an Accredited Regional Training Program (ARTP), and the Fire Academy is part of the California State Fire Marshal’s accreditation. Since 1972, we have taught Firefighter-1 classes as part of our 609-hour certified Fire Academy program.

The Firefighter 1 Academy is a California State Fire Marshal-certified academy that meets all the requirements in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001 for entry-level firefighters. Our academy is the foundation for a career in the fire service. The Certification Training Standards for Firefighter 1 are followed and signed off on as you complete each block of instruction. Certification exams require a passing score of at least 80 percent, and manipulative exams require a score of 100 percent.
