Training Bureau

 Career Firefighters must achieve 400 hours in specified topics for certification and must also successfully pass the CPAT (Candidate Physical Agility Test).  Firefighters are required to be state certified Emergency Medical Technicians.  

North Oldham uses the IFSTA Essentials (7th Edition) as a primary reference for all firefighting instruction.  Additional training opportunities are plentiful through our agencies’ participation as a First Responder for OCEMS.  

North Oldham maintains an adequate training budget that allows us to send our membership to State Courses within the region and to courses outside of Kentucky that we believe will benefit the member and the department.
