The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has introduced its Authorized Education Network (AEN), a global program aimed at increasing access to high-quality safety training.
This new network, which involves NFPA-approved instructors delivering certified courses through authorized providers, seeks to address the growing need for reliable safety training.
As reported by NFPA, the AEN will provide training in areas such as fire protection, building safety, and electrical hazards.
NFPA President and CEO Jim Pauley said: “With the NFPA Authorized Education Network, we’re taking a major step forward in expanding access to the world-class training that NFPA is known for.”
The program will equip safety professionals worldwide with essential knowledge and skills to protect lives and property.
The NFPA encourages organizations and individuals within the fire, electrical, and life safety industries to apply to become authorized training providers.
This program offers benefits such as access to NFPA-developed materials, expert instructors, and the ability to manage classes through an online learning portal.
By joining, companies can offer recognized NFPA training, which can help build their reputation within the safety sector.
The program also provides a digital NFPA-authorized badge, which can be shared to demonstrate their affiliation with NFPA.
The AEN will offer a variety of instructor-led courses, covering topics like fire protection systems, building safety, electrical hazards, and industrial safety.
Most courses will be available in English, with some also offered in Spanish.
Additionally, these courses will align with the latest editions of NFPA codes and standards, ensuring the most up-to-date information.
NFPA plans to expand the course offerings as the program grows, providing more opportunities for safety professionals to enhance their skills and knowledge.
NFPA is now accepting applications for both authorized training providers and instructors.
Applicants must create an account on the NFPA website and submit an application through the AEN web page.
Once approved, participants will have access to NFPA’s vast resources and training materials to deliver high-quality safety education.
By joining, participants can leverage NFPA’s established expertise in safety training, which helps companies improve workforce safety and deliver enhanced value to clients.
