Knowledge 1 is a self-paced testing and evaluation program that confers training credit for self-initiated learning efforts taking place outside the structured classroom environment. Today's industry standards, state and departmental requirements, and legal expectations necessitate documenting your professional knowledge and providing evidence of competency within your specialty. Knowledge 1 helps you:
- Document your knowledge and competence
- Demonstrate your commitment to your profession
- Take control of your professional credibility and your career
The Knowledge 1 Learning Series lesson plans are tied to the knowledge, skills, and abilities outlined in NFPA 1033, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigators. Each Knowledge 1 lesson plan identifies the purpose of the module, outlines the learning objectives, and identifies the learning materials that are to be covered for the lesson. The number of credit hours awarded is based on the amount of learning materials that are to be reviewed prior to taking the examination. The course examination is drawn from a test bank and consists of randomized multiple choice and true-false questions developed directly from the support learning materials.
Knowledge 1 offers the following benefits:
- Developed and certified by the IAAI, the world's leading professional organization for fire investigation
- Certificate provided for successfully passing the written examination
- Earning continuing education credit hours that may count toward fulfilling professional development requirements
- Prerequisite for more advanced IAAI Training and Educational programs
- Uniformity with an International program
- Improved knowledge and understanding of core competencies related to fire investigation
