The Division's associates currently provide training in:

In addition to its training efforts, the Division maintains certification records for Indiana Firefighters and EMS personnel. 

In our quest to meet today's and future needs and demands of our constituents we are always driving to improve our service offerings and add additional delivery channels to distribute training content and opportunities.

We see online training as a important and integral add-on to our current services to reach even a broader audience faster and more efficient. IDHS is committed to deliver quality training opportunities online and electronically.

This eLearning initiative is supported by the Director of IDHS Division Preparedness and Training Bradley Thatcher.
