GENERAL INFORMATION

FIRE COMPANY REGISTRATION PROCEDURES - IN-STATE FIRE COMPANIES:

Class registration is an important part of our management process. Knowing how many students will be attending a
class allows us to contract the correct number of instructors for the class. Knowing who is registering for the class
allows us to confirm that they have the correct pre-requisites for those courses that require them. Having the correct
count of students allows us to furnish the correct number of meals when they are being provided.

Registrations must be made on the form provided by the Delaware State Fire School. Registration closing
dates for weekend classes are on the Friday two weeks prior to the scheduled class date. Registration should be
received by the Fire School on or before the closing date. The closing date will be on the course announcement.

Telephone registrations cannot be accepted. Faxed/emailed registrations are acceptable and must be signed and
properly completed by the Fire Department or organization.

In order to confirm who has been accepted into classes, we have instituted a policy of notifying all in-state fire
departments, whether they have students who have applied or not, of who has been accepted into each of the classes.
This notice will come out on the Friday of the week after registration closes. At that point, everyone will know who has
been accepted into the class. You can then notify your members accordingly. As always, we DO NOT accept walk-ins
or substitutions, so it is important you share the registration information with potential students.

FIRE COMPANY REGISTRATION PROCEDURES - OUT-OF-STATE FIRE COMPANIES:

All out-of-state students must have completed the Delaware State Fire School Basic Firefighting Skills or have met the
reciprocity requirements stated in this catalog prior to taking the next level of classes.

All out-of-state registration is limited to two people per department on a space available basis. If a class becomes
too large as a result of in-state student registration, out-of-state students will be subject to cancellation up to the day
before the actual class begins.

Tuition for all courses must be prepaid by out-of-state students with the registration forms. Absolutely no walk-ins will be
accepted. Registrations will not be accepted without payment.

CLASS HOURS: Refer to the Course Listing under “Sign-Up For Classes” on our website for class times.

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to that time.

MEALS: A noon meal will be provided in our cafeteria for most daytime classes at Dover.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

Cancellations for students who are registered for a course must be received by the Delaware State Fire School no later
than noon on the Wednesday preceding the scheduled class day. Cancellations received after Wednesday noon will be
considered "no shows" and will be handled in accordance with the NO SHOW POLICY. Cancellations will be accepted
only from the Fire Chief or the authorized Training Officer.

NO-SHOW POLICY:

Students who register for Delaware State Fire School courses and do not show up for class on the scheduled date will be
placed on a "hold list" and will not be accepted for registration of future courses. If space is available the students on the
"hold list" will be advised on Wednesday afternoon, three (3) days prior to class time that they may attend the course.
"No Shows" will be made a part of the students training record. No Shows" will be assessed the tuition fee for the
entire course.

COURSE COMPLETION POLICY:

All Delaware State Fire School courses are performance based. All students must meet the minimum participation
requirements during the class and must pass the written and/or skills test when appropriate. Students who fail to
meet the performance objectives will not receive credit for the class nor receive a certificate of completion. The
sponsoring organization will be notified in writing of any failures.

STUDENT RECORDS:

All training records will be recorded for all courses attended with the exception of some special courses of less than three
hours, such as Public Education, Agency, and Industrial classes.
