ATTENTION: ALL NC QUALIFIED FIRE & RESCUE INSTRUCTORS

The 2026 Qualified Instructor Upgrade is underway, and ALL currently qualified NC Fire and Rescue Commission instructors are required to attend, regardless of the certification program they are qualified to teach.

Deadline: December 31, 2026

More than 140 in-person sessions are being offered statewide through December 31. Instructors only need to attend ONE session to satisfy the Fall 2026 upgrade requirements.

IMPORTANT: Instructors who will need additional program-specific upgrades in Spring 2027 must still complete the Fall 2026 upgrade.

Failure to complete the required upgrade may affect your ability to requalify in the future.

If you have already completed the 2026 Qualified Instructor Upgrade, no additional action is required for the fall upgrade.
