I'm looking for some opinions and pro's and con's of NFPA vs. ICC certification. Our dept. is sponsoring Fire Inspector 1 and 2 classes next month. The classes are Pro-Board and from what I can tell If I pass both classes and the final exam I can apply for ICC Certification and NFPA certification if I pay the application fee, complete the apps and attach the pro-board seal. I wont have to challenge the tests at prometric.
The ICC app fee is $50 bucks each and the NFPA app fee is 250 for each class with some additional requirements. I've been thinking about pursuing the certified FM route through ICC but I didn't know if it would be beneficial to be certified through the NFPA also in the Fire Inspector 1 and 2?
It all starts to add up. Between the CEU requirements for Fire Investigator and Evidence Collection Technician, the CEU's for my arch license, and now additional continuing ed and recert requirements fir ICC (and NFPA ?), I'm just wondering if the 500 bucks to get the NFPA certs for FI 1 and 2 also is really worth it?
