- Fire and Emergency Services Administration Certificate
This certificate program is designed for fire and emergency services professionals who want to increase their knowledge and skills as managers, leaders, and administrators. This program is ideal for working professionals who are not in a position to pursue a bachelor's degree, already have a bachelor's degree, or who want to acquire transferable college credit for later application towards a bachelor's degree in fire and emergency services administration at CSU or another institution. 
The skills learned in this certificate program will prepare students to perform administrative and managerial duties in fire and emergency service organizations.
This certificate is a companion to the Bachelor of Science in Fire and Emergency Services Administration (FESA). Each course is offered at the junior or senior level, and may be transferred to the FESA degree program.

The education and experience I have obtained in the fire service courses at Colorado State University have allowed me to achieve many of my personal and professional goals. CSU's courses and their instructors provided me with the knowledge and experience to help me develop and work as a highly educated and skilled fire service professional and has been very beneficial not only to me and the fire department for whom I serve, but also to the community in which I work and live.
