The seventh edition of the IFSTA Fire and Emergency Services Instructor manual is written to assist fire and emergency services personnel in meeting the job performance requirements (JPRs) of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1041, Standard for Instructor Professional Qualifications (2002). It provides the basic level of knowledge that is required for NFPA Level I, Level II, and Level III Fire and Emergency Services Instructors and instructor candidates. It should be understood that this manual is the foundation for the education and certification of each instructor level and as professional development for personnel currently in those positions. Additional reading and course work are highly recommended for those instructors who aspire to the position of training division manager in the fire and emergency services organization.
