Instructor Team
The IAFF
currently has a cadre of 101 Master Instructors who are also fire
fighters/paramedics specializing in adult education techniques. Each master
instructor possesses a minimum of five years of fire fighting and emergency
response experience before being appointed as an IAFF master instructor. The IAFF’s cadre of instructors has an average of
23 years of fire service
experience. Prior to their appointments as instructors, the IAFF reviews their

appropriate match for the program. |
