I’m very pleased to be able to announce that during our Seminar opening ceremonies this year, Mr. Wayne Stevens, Director of the Fire Academy at the Justice Institute of BC and I announced that the JIBC & FPOABC had come to an understanding and agreement on the two FPOABC ProBoard accredited courses NFPA1033 Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Investigator and NFPA1031 Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner, Level 1 offered by the FPOABC. The agreement has the Justice Institute granting full reciprocity and 3 educational credits for each of the two courses. During Mr. Stevens address to the membership he announced that students who have successfully completed NFPA 1031 Fire Inspector Level 1 and NFPA 1033 Fire Investigator delivered by the BC Fire Prevention Officers Association will receive a total of 6.0 credits from the Fire & Safety Division at the Justice Institute of British Columbia for the following courses:
