Non-Certification Classes

This Illinois Fire Chiefs Association offers many classes to our members that do not lead to a Certification with OSFM. 

Senior Officer Focus Program

The Illinois Fire Chiefs Association offers a one- or two-day seminar of Officer Development of programs in leadership and the support tools to grow an organization for a safe and successful future. This program offers topics necessary for a new company officer and refresher for a veteran officer.

Topics areas are selected by the host fire chief with feedback from the surrounding area fire chiefs to meet the needs of the officers from the area. The program can be scheduled in a one-day format (5 topics with a working lunch) or a two-day format (7-8 topics with breakfast and lunch format).
