Training that involves instructors <br />where the students must demonstratetheir grasp of knowledge of the training material via <br />testing and is integral to a certification will receive a high competitive rating, but not to <br />the extent of the trainings that would lead to national certification. Training that is <br />instructor-led but does not lead to a certification, or any self-taught courses, are of low <br />benefit, and therefore they will not be afforded a high priority. <br />We will rate more highly those proposed programs that benefit the highest <br />percentage of applicable personnel within a fire department or those proposed programs <br />that will be open to other departments in the region. Training that brings the department <br />into statutory (or OSHA) compliance would provide the highest benefit relative to <br />training that is not required, therefore receive the highest consideration.
