Keep professional standards high!
NFPA 1000 establishes the minimum criteria for accrediting bodies; and for the assessment and validation of the process used to certify fire and related emergency response personnel to professional qualifications standards; and of nonengineering, fire-related, academic, degree-granting programs offered by institutions of higher education.
The purpose of this Standard is to establish criteria and requirements applicable to:
* Organizations providing accreditation to entities certifying fire and related emergency response personnel and institutions of higher education granting degrees for non-engineering, fire-related academic programs
* Entities certifying fire and related emergency response personnel as having met or complied with a recognized national standard
* Non-engineering, fire-related, academic, degree-granting programs offered by institutions of higher education
Changes to the 2005 edition of this document include:
* Added provisions recognize changing methodologies used for evaluations for both Accrediting and Certification agencies
* Formatted revisions and editorial changes facilitate ease of use and enhance comprehension
