New Training Announcements
As schools begin to ramp up I thought it worthwhile to share a couple of things regarding registering for classes in LMS:
If a firefighter has never taken a State Fire class they will not be in the LMS system. Click here for a cheat sheet on how to setup a new account in LMS.The State is currently 3 weeks behind in processing requests. Please keep that in mind when interested in taking a class. I cannot register anyone for a class if they are not active in LMS.
Any firefighter that has taken a State Fire class in the past is in the LMS system. There is a good chance they are inactive because there is no email address on file for them. In this case the easiest thing to do is send me your name (no nicknames) and email address and I can get you activated. Currently, I can do that in a day or so. Once activated the State will send you a password. I cannot register anyone for a class if they are not active in LMS.
