Programs
In order to meet the demand for quality training programs from the South Carolina fire service, the Fire Academy has implemented an instructor certification program to train and qualify instructors. These instructors are then used in the delivery of fire training programs throughout the state in both direct delivery and train-the-trainer courses.

Fire certification training is only a click away through the S.C. Fire Academy’s Online Learning Community. These web-based courses offer an alternate delivery method for students who otherwise may not be able to travel to attend traditional courses. Providing greater access to training to more firefighters better prepares our communities in the event of a disaster, protects property, and saves lives.

Equivalency/ Reciprocity
The SC Fire Academy offers evaluation of previous certifications and training from other accredited state or training entities. It is the policy of the South Caroline Fire Academy to offer reciprocity or equivalency for occupational level certifications issued by proper agencies. The SCFA does not offer equivalency for individual courses except those listed due to these being prerequisites for certification.
To apply for credit, complete the Application for Equivalency or Reciprocity. The application must be signed by your fire chief or designee.
Please submit the signed application and copies of your certifications (or transcripts) to: SCFA Accreditation & Certification, 141 Monticello Trail, Columbia, SC 29203 or email SCFA.Reciprocity@llr.sc.gov
