A New Kind of Fire Investigation Course!

REGISTER NOW

This class is different.  Other courses claim to be “advanced” without ever really delving deeply into the most important subjects.  This year we’re presenting a new approach to advanced fire investigation training.  We’ve asked our most popular, internationally recognized, instructors to select topics within their areas of specialty about which they are most passionate.  This course will consist of a smaller number of lectures presented in greater detail. 

This year’s advanced program will focus on specialized investigative techniques and issues following the precepts of the National Fire Code, NFPA 921 - 2008, The Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations covering these advanced topics:

While all levels of investigators, from the newest to the most experienced, will benefit from these lectures, this class is not designed or intended to be a broad entry level review of NFPA 921.  All technical speakers are members of the NFPA Technical Committee on Fire Investigations or its Task Groups.  Nowhere else can the fire and explosion investigator meet and learn from these acknowledged experts in their fields, all gathered together for one training program.

These specialized topics are a perfect compliment to the National Seminar on Fire Analysis Litigation.  [Read More]

Certified Fire and Explosion Investigator Examination

While, certainly, many of the concepts discussed in the class will be covered on the CFEI exam, we encourage all CFEI candidates to conduct independent study of NFPA 921, 2008 edition, in preparation for the CFEI exam.  Because of the more specialized nature of this advanced class, students should expect to hear information in class that will not be on the CFEI exam and to be tested on material that has not necessarily been presented in class.

The CFEI examination will be offered by the National Certification Board in conjunction with this NAFI-sponsored training program.  In order to sit for the CFEI exam each applicant must meet the requirements of the National Certification Board (by application review), be a NAFI member, and must pay the required application fee of $75.00* (this is a 40% discount off the regular fee). 

Recertification

This course satisfies the current CFEI recertification guidelines.
