NFPA 1020 PDF

A NEW Comprehensive Standard for Professional Qualifications in Fire, EMS, and Instructor Roles

NFPA 1020, Standard for Fire and Emergency Instructor, Fire Officer, and Emergency Medical Services Officer Professional Qualifications, identifies the minimum job performance requirements (JPRs) for both fire and EMS officers while also addressing them for fire service instructors. The JPRs in this standard can be used to develop curricula and certifications, write job descriptions and organizational policies, evaluate employees at the officer or instructor level, and more.

NFPA 1020 was created to consolidate both NFPA 1041, Standard for Fire and Emergency Services Instructor Professional Qualifications, and NFPA 1021, Standard for Fire Officer Professional Qualifications, into a single, streamlined standard.
