SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Fire Academy is mandated under
the Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-498) to provide
training and education to the Nation's fire service and emergency
service personnel. The state of-the-art programs offered by the
National Fire Academy serve as models of excellence and State and local
fire service agencies rely heavily on the curriculum to train their
personnel. To maintain the quality of these training programs, it is
critical that courses be evaluated after students have had the
opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained from their
training. Information collected from the evaluation forms enables the
U.S. Fire Administration and National Fire Academy staff to monitor and
recommend changes in course materials, individual subject selection
criteria, and to make curriculum-wide reviews and assessments.
