Become A FirefighterThe work of a firefighter is challenging, exhausting and rewarding all at the same time. Pursuing a career in fire protection services is noble and commendable, but is certainly not to be taken lightly. The Georgia Public Safety Training Center offers Basic Firefighter Training Program, which is an intense eight-week course that will test candidates, both mentally and physically. Georgia’s firefighter certification process is regulated by the Georgia Fire Standards and Training Council (GFSTC). Candidates interested in pursuing a career as a certified firefighter may enroll in the Georgia Public Safety Training Centers (GPSTC) Basic Firefighter Training Course prior to making application with GFSTC if they meet the following minimum requirements; are at least 18 years old, have completed a medical release affidavit, have completed CPR certification, and have completed NIMS level 100 and 700 training, available on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) website.
