OPEN ENROLLMENT CLASSES
In an
effort to quell the rash of No Shows at Open
Enrollment Classes, the Fire Academy has instituted a
new procedure for registration for these programs. A
$25.00 registration must accompany all applications for
Open Enrollment Programs. This fee will be reimbursed
upon completion of the class. If a student fails to show
without contacting the Academy at least 48 hours prior
to the start of class or does not complete the program,
the registration fee will be forfeited
A course
confirmation letter will be sent to each student, which must
be presented on the first day of class. This letter will
only be sent after the application and registration fee has
been received. Most of our Open Enrollment Classes have
waiting lists so it is imperative that students who are
unable to attend a class notify us so we may fill their seat
from the waiting list
ALL CLASSES WILL BE HELD EXCLUSIVELY AT THE
SUFFOLK COUNTY FIRE ACADEMY
All weeknight classes
will begin at 7:00 p.m.
All Saturday and Sunday
classes will begin at 8:00 a.m.
