The Fire Protection Technician associate degree program prepares students for employment in the fire service and/or for fire-related duties within private industry. The objectives of the program are twofold: to instruct qualified high school graduates who are seeking a career in the fire service, and to update firefighters and officers on changes within the fire service. Students will have the opportunity to obtain four Wisconsin certifications, which exceeds most entry-level firefighter requirements and will prepare them for career advancement. In addition, successful completion of the Hazardous Materials course (FIRE-152) awards an MATC Hazardous Materials certification. Students also are given the opportunity to practice interviewing techniques, develop a resume, and take a candidate physical agility test (CPAT), which is recognized as the minimum physical standard for entry into most departments.
