Active learning opportunities are gleaned from a sequence of academic courses that provides technical, professional knowledge and skills necessary to manage day-to-day fire department and emergency situations in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association.

The Fire Science Program at Albany Technical College is excited about receiving the Delegation of Authority (2006) to certify fire officers, who have met the qualifications, at the perspective levels of Fire Officer I, Fire Officer II, Fire Instructor I, and Fire Inspector I through the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications (Pro Board).

The success of the program can be attributed to working agreements with area fire departments; presently there are agreements with the Albany Fire Department and the Americus Fire and Emergency Services. The chiefs of each perspective department agree that offering fire science courses is an excllent way for their employees to obtain continuing education and career advancement opportunities
