The Georgia Public Safety Training Center is now accepting registrations for a two-week Fire Inspector course scheduled for September 14 through September 25, 2026.

The course is being offered through the Fire and Emergency Services Section, and successful completion will result in NPQ Fire Inspector certification.

GPSTC says prerequisite courses are being waived for this offering because the National Fire Academy’s online platform is not currently operational.

Students are encouraged to have completed a Life Safety Code class, although it is not required to attend the course.

For those seeking state certification as a Fire Inspector, Hazardous Materials Awareness is required under the applicable NFPA standard. However, GPSTC says that certification is not required simply to attend this class.

The September course will also mark the final offering of the curriculum developed under NFPA 1031. GPSTC says it is awaiting finalization of a new curriculum based on the revised NFPA 1030 standard.

Registration is now open through the Georgia Public Safety Training Center’s student access portal.
