Notes:<br />
• 1 ENG 111 is recommended for further development of writing skills, which is a critical skill in the fire and emergency<br />
services. ENG 137 can be substituted for the 3 credit English requirement.<br />
• 2 Two credits of health (HLT) or physical education (PED) are required for all students. Veterans will be awarded HLT/PED<br />
credit based on military service. A valid Virginia EMT certification will also be given credit to satisfy this requirement.<br />
• 3 FST 135 is an elective under the VCCS Fire Science Technology curriculum but it does not certify the student as a state<br />
Level I fire instructor. Instructor certification is obtained by taking the Virginia Department of Fire Programs (VDFP)<br />
course for Fire Instructor I under NFPA 1041. However, a student who has achieved VDFP Fire Instructor Level I and<br />
Level II can receive VCCS college credit for FST 135 – Fire Instructor I as explained in the VCCS/VDFP Crosswalk Conversion<br />
agreement.
