Abstract: The National Fire Academy Long-Term Evaluation Forms will be used to evaluate all National Fire Academy on-campus resident training courses. Course graduates and their supervisors will be asked to evaluate the impact of the training on both individual job performance and the performance of the fire and emergency response department where the student works. The data provided by students and supervisors is used to update existing National Fire Academy course materials and to develop new courses that reflect the emerging issues and needs of the Nation’s fire service.
