NFA Managing Officer Program

Fire Service Leaders, 

Eriks Gabliks, the Superintendent of the NFA, asked that I pass along the following information to you. 

The National Fire Academy (NFA) has opened the application window for those interested in being considered for the Managing Officer (MO) Program. The application period is now OPEN! Those interested in being considered must apply by April 15 for courses that begin in fiscal year 2023 (October 2022 – September 2023).

The NFA’s Managing Officer Program is a multiyear curriculum that introduces emerging emergency services leaders to personal and professional skills in change management, risk reduction and adaptive leadership. Acceptance into the program is the first step in your professional development as a career or volunteer fire/emergency medical services (EMS) manager, and includes all four elements of professional development: education, training, experience and continuing education.

There is NO FEE for anyone to attend this program! Your cost is meals while on campus and your time. For those accepted in the program the NFA will reimburse for your travel, provide housing and classroom materials, deliver a world-class professional development experience, and you will develop a network of peers from around the nation.
