 Fire Police Course at East Quogue Fire Department

The Suffolk County Fire Academy is pleased to announce that we are now offering the new 21 hour New York State Fire Police Course. The program consists of six sessions, five three-hour lecture sessions and the last session, which is held at the Fire Academy, is a six-hour session that consists of hands-on skills testing and a written final exam.

There will be a course held beginning September 23, 2010 at the East Quogue Fire Department.  Pre-registration is required for this course.  Please call the Fire Academy at 924-6822 to pre-register.  Registration is limited to thirty-two (32) students.

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

Please download the Open Enrollment Course Registration Form and submit with your check payable to the "Suffolk County Fire Academy", PO Box 128, Yaphank, New York in addition to the online registration.

Steps for Registration

  1. Complete the online registration form (reference the course code below)
