NFPA 1001 Level 1 and NFPA 1001 Level 2 Blended Program
NFPA 1001 Level 1
NFPA 1001 Level 2
Friday sessions - 6:30pm - 9:00pm
Saturday and Sunday sessions - 8:00am - 5:00pm
All students will be required to attend all dates to be eligible to take the written exam and skills evaluations.
Prior to each training weekend, students will be required to complete the following Resource One online assignments:
Resource One assignments will be tracked by the lead instructor and Training Officer.
This is a "hybrid" type course with most of the course work beginning on March 8, 2024 and ending on April 26/30, 2024. Participants will complete the work on their own and at their own pace, under the following guidelines:
The chapter quizzes and tests for chapters 1 through 5 must be completed by 08:00 on April 1.
The chapter quizzes and tests for chapters 6 through 10 must be completed by 08:00 on April 26.
Participants must score a 70 percent or higher on each quiz and test to move on to the next chapter quiz or test. Participants have 2 chances to successfully complete each quiz or test.
Chapter quizzes are not timed, so participants are encouraged to use their textbook if they are unsure of an answer while completing the quizzes.
Chapter tests are timed, with the time allowed for each test proportional to the number of questions in the test. For chapter tests, the total time allowed accounts for an average of 90 seconds per question.
There will be activities assigned during the course, which the participants will submit to the instructor on or before the last day of the course. Plenty of notice will be given to participants
Half of the class will meet at 09:00 on Friday, April 26 to complete the last activities. The other half will meet on Tuesday, April 30 to complete the last activities.
On the two days listed in item number 7, participants will each present on a topic to the other participants there in that session. Details of that activity will be distributed by March 29th.
This course is going to be run like an adult learning course in which each participant is responsible for setting aside time to work through the course materials. As listed above, the first five chapters must be completed by April 1. That is so that you don’t procrastinate too long. My suggestion for you is to set a goal of completing two chapters per week, so that you have all ten completed by the weekend of April 12th. That would give you two weeks of cushion time.
Once the course activities have been completed and everyone has successfully completed required course testing, a date will be set up for MO Division of Fire Safety certification testing. That will likely take place at the Cottleville FPD in our training room. The state’s certification test for Instructor 1 certification consists of 100 multiple choice questions from their testing bank.
Note: Anything and everything listed in chapters 1 through 10 in the IFSTA Fire and Emergency Services Instructor 9th Edition textbook is fair game for their test. So, taking the time to read the chapters, reviewing the lesson outlines, and reviewing the powerpoint presentations on the IFSTA ResourceOne site is all highly suggested.
In addition to the DFS certification test, once the course has been successfully completed, participants will receive a "task book" from the Division of Fire Safety that they will have to complete within 365 days. We will review that packet on the first day of class, and again on the last day of class as needed.
Throughout this class or course, participants are welcome and encouraged to reach out to the instructor for guidance or clarification on course work. I want all of you to be successful, so please reach out to me if you need assistance.

NFPA 1041 Instructor Level 1. Online Theory Course
IN Firefighter Driver Operator General and Pumper
May 2024 at Rensselaer FD
Course Description
Indiana Driver Operator General and Pumper: This class is designed prepare the firefighter for certification testing through classroom learning and hands on training. The student will be expected to read the assigned material before class. We will be handing out quizzes to be completed before class or using IFSTA Moodle. Although there will be classroom presentation, it will focus on information that can’t be covered out in the field. If you don’t understand something you read, the class will begin with a questions and answers session to try and answer those questions. Then there will be an opportunity to go over the quiz that was assigned. We will then discuss certain topics from the book as to how they may apply. The bulk of the time will concentrate on the skills, understanding what is expected, how to obtain the information, applying knowledge learned from the book and evaluating your work. You must attend all classes to be eligible to take the test. If you must miss a day, it is up to you to make up the material. It will be your responsibility to schedule time between you and an instructor to catch up.
Course Logistics
This class is based on the recently updated curriculum for Indiana Driver Operator certification. The book we will use is IFSTA Pumping and Aerial Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook 3rd ed. You should be able to access an E book from your IFSTA account, so there will not be any hard copies available. Individuals or Fire Departments now may apply for free IFSTA eLibrary subscriptions via https://on.in.gov/ifsta-library-request. Each user must have an IFSTA ResourceOne account to access these publications. ResourceOne accounts can be created via https://moodle.ifsta.org/. Questions regarding the IFSTA eLibrary should be directed to Shelly Elliott.
We will be doing all the driving and such in and around Rensselaer. If several members attend from one department, you will be expected to provide a fire engine from your department. This will allow you to familiarize yourself with your own equipment and give us more than one piece of apparatus to use. Everyone will need to show a valid driver’s license prior to being allowed to participate in the hands-on portion.
