AHJ TRAINING INITIATIVE

Addressing Change, Determining Compliance
 

 

The Fire Technicians Network offers two specialized courses for Jurisdictional Authorities.  These are delivered via group organized presentations that allow you to set and control your own attendance levels and gives you the opportunity to offset some (or all) of the expense by managing your own guest invitations.  We provide all the handout materials and workbooks (at a nominal $25.00 charge for each attendee), you cover the associated costs for our instructor’s travel, meals and accommodation.  We’re not going to set  minimum or maximum levels for the number of attendees.  You decide on the venue, the who and the how many to invite to fill the room with.  You also decide on what to charge per seat.
