Education is key to your professional development within the fire and emergency services, regardless of your current role. That's why the IAFC has partnered with Columbia Southern University to create the Officer Development Program. Together, we've opened up a world of opportunities for officers at every level. Choose from the Company Officer, Chief Officer, or Executive Officer programs. Each course allows you to earn college credit hours (or Continuing Education Units) and boost your career potential! All three ODP programs can be completed 100% online – but Fire-Rescue International participants have the unique opportunity to attend in-person classes and learn from our expert instructors face-to-face. Watch the video below to learn more about the ODP and its role at the FRI conference next month, or visit https://buff.ly/3SKtJO2.
