CNM Fire Academy Information
The Fire Science Program offers the CNM Fire Academy Certification through the traditional open-enrollment courses and a structured and demanding 18-week academy. CNM and the Fire Academy faculty have worked hard to develop strong relationships with fire departments across the state to better understand community needs. These partnerships in turn have helped CNM develop top-of-class curriculum and training protocols that not only meet national standards but also mirror the kind of training provided by fire departments.
