The standard of firefighter training as required by Florida State Statute 633 and Florida Administrative Codes 69A-37 and 69A-62 to be a Volunteer Firefighter is the completion of Part I of the State of Florida Minimum Standards Course. A significant portion of this training can now be completed through a blended learning approach that combines both “on-line” and practical skill components. The on-line portion can be taken in lieu of the traditional classroom lecture and satisfies most of the required academic objectives. Validation of this training is met by retaining copies of quiz scores and final evaluation upon completion of the on-line program.
