GENERAL INFORMATION

REGISTRATION: Personnel that wish to enroll in a course must return a registration form for each course no

later than the Register By date specified on Page 11 of this catalog. A blank registration form is enclosed in the
back of this catalog or can be found on our website www.statefireschool.delaware.gov. We need enough time to
prepare class rosters, obtain class materials, and notify you if a class is full before your personnel leave to travel to
the School. Please use the full name of the student on the registration form instead of nicknames or initials as this
form is used to create the student computer record and that name will appear on the course certificate.

CONFIRMATION: You will receive written confirmation that your personnel have been accepted for a course.

Please do not send personnel to the Fire School if you do not have confirmed space in the course for them.

SUBSTITUTIONS: If you discover that a person cannot attend a course, you may send a substitute IF THEY

HAVE MET THE PREREQUISITES FOR THAT COURSE. Please do not exceed the total number of confirmed spaces
you have for a course. PLEASE FAX OR PHONE IN SUBSTITUTIONS SO WE MAY CHECK PREREQUISITES
PRIOR TO THEIR ARRIVAL.

CANCELLATION POLICY: You will be billed for each person registered for the program. If you have to

cancel a registration for a person for some reason, you may cancel up to noon the day before the class. If you do
not notify the Fire School by that time and the student does not show up on the first day of class, your company will
be billed for that person. Billing will be done at the completion of each course.

WALK-IN/NON-PRE-REGISTERED STUDENTS: Any student who arrives for class and is not registered

will be assessed an additional $25.00 fee to cover administrative costs. Students may be denied admission if the
course is full and they are not registered. Students will be denied access if they do not meet the prerequisites.

CLASS HOURS: Most classes provided for the Industrial client begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. and end at 5:00

p.m., however, see pages 15 through 21 for the specific starting times per course. Students need to be at the
training center 15 minutes early the first day for administrative purposes.

MEALS: A noon meal will be provided in our cafeteria.

TUITION FEES: Tuition rates reflect our operating costs. Courses which require the most materials will cost
the most to attend. Current tuition fees can be found by each course description in this brochure.

PREREQUISITES: Some classes are sequentially structured and, therefore, have prerequisites. This is done

because information in those advanced classes builds the knowledge learned in more basic classes. Students
without the prerequisite knowledge will possibly fail to understand the information being presented in advanced
classes. Wherever possible, classes have been designed to be taken in any order, so that you may more easily
schedule personnel to take them. Please note the prerequisites for a class listed in each course description.

PREREQUISITE CREDIT FROM OTHER TRAINING FACILITIES: Students who have attended

courses at other recognized training facilities may be able to meet prerequisites using courses taken at those
facilities. Application to waive our prerequisite must be made in writing and must be received at the Delaware State
Fire School at least 30 days prior to the class you wish to attend. You must include a transcript or copy of a
certificate of completion for the course that was taken, clearly showing the name of the student, date, and location
for the training. A list of specific classes or blocks of instruction in the course must be shown. Even if our
prerequisite is waived, preference will be given to students who have attended the prerequisite course at our facility
so that if a class is full, students who attended the prerequisite training at our facility will be accepted first.
Delaware State Fire School reserves the right to be the exclusive judge on whether courses taken at other facilities
fulfill prerequisites.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL/FIRST AID TREATMENT: Any payment for any

and all medical, first aid, and related charges will be the responsibility of the sponsoring organization.
