We offer virtual and in person options for our popular Peer Support Training program, as well as advanced courses for those looking to further their skills.

Virtual Training

Individuals may register for only one class and cannot register on behalf of others. Registration is non-transferable. Obtain approval from your local president before registering. Your local president will be notified that you have registered. You must log in with your IAFF username and password to register. If you do not know your username or password, follow the prompts below the sign-in box.

The IAFF sends emails notifying members of virtual learning opportunities. Make sure your IAFF email address is up to date to receive a notification when classes are open.

Sign up here to be notified of scheduled virtual trainings, which will also be listed on this page.

IN-PERSON TRAINING

Trainings are hosted by an IAFF Local or affiliated fire department. Because host sites typically choose to limit attendance to their own Local or neighboring departments, training schedules are not posted online.

Occasionally, a host site has space available for outside participants. The IAFF maintains a list of those who have expressed interest in learning when class openings occur. Notification is typically sent within a few weeks of the training date.

Individuals who want to participate in the training at another host site must: (1) obtain the approval of their Local president; (2) register and communicate directly with the host point of contact, and (3) be responsible for travel expenses and any registration fee charged by the host.
