Fire and Emergency Services Instructor, 8th Edition

Fire and Emergency Services Instructor Eighth Edition helps students meet the job performance requirements of NFPA® 1041, Standard for Fire Service Instructor Professional Qualifications (2012) for Instructor levels I, II, and III. The manual also provides a reference for instructors who may perform duties outside of their current certification levels. This new edition has been reorganized to provide clearer separations between the three instructor levels: Ch. 1-9 cover Level I; Ch. 10-14, Level II; and Ch. 15-17 Level III. The text has been shortened from 22 chapters to 17. As a result, the text is more concise and easier to teach. The text reflects new changes in the NFPA® standard, including a discussion of bias in instructional and testing materials.
