Your score is displayed under either the CEU Completed or Current Certs buttons. Try both until you find it. A “C” means you passed, an “F” means you failed. Please DO NOT call our office to ask for scores. Due to privacy issues, we DO NOT give out scores over the phone.

Dear Students, If you’re unable to attend any of the upcoming Drill Ground Instructor classes, we ask that you withdraw or if you have an emergency within 24 hours of the class, please call us at 908-737-3060 or email us at firesafety@kean.edu. We have many people who need to take the class but are unable to due to classes being full. To withdraw, follow these instructions: Step 1 Click on “My Courses” (This is found on the yellow bar across the top of the screen) Step 2 Click on the name of the class you wish to unenroll from Step 3 Click on the picture of the gear box Step 4 Click the gear Step 5 Click the link to “unenrol” Step 6 Click the button to “Continue” Step 7 Click “My Courses”  to confirm if the class you just unenrolled from is no longer listed

For the upcoming Zoom classes, we are asking that you take the time to test your equipment. Please ensure that your camera and microphone are working. Also, please take the time to change your screen name to your first and last name if it is not already set up that way. Here are support articles to help you do these three things. Copy and paste the web address into your browser if you’re not seeing a clickable link: How to test your camera on Zoom: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061836 How to test your microphone on Zoom: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0062765 How to change your screen name: https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0061891 We need your cooperation with this preparation. The DFS has a policy requiring that your camera be turned on and that you be viewed during the duration of the class as if you were in a classroom. Class participation is also a requirement and we ask that you respond audibly when prompted. Failure to follow these instructions may result in no credit being given. Do not attempt to join Zoom classes before 8:15 a.m. You may be instructed to join later if it is a large class. If you have difficulty joining, please close and reattempt every 5 minutes. It may take several minutes and/or attempts for staff to admit you to the class. If you’re unable to join by 9 a.m., please check our blog at www.keanfiresafety.com. If there are any technical problems, updates will be posted at that location. If there is no blog and you are still unable to join, please email us at firesafety@kean.edu. for additional assistance at that time.

Dear Students, We have added additional seats for the April 5 Zoom class. This is available to students who meet the following requirements: You are a working Fire Official or Fire Inspector AND Your certification will lapse on April 30, 2024 if you do NOT take this class. If you don’t fall into both of these categories, please wait to take the class in either May or June or by completing the online self-paced version after it is posted later this spring. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. The Fire Safety Training Program

Dear Students, Please note, the following class has been cancelled due to low enrollment: Leadership So Everyone Goes Home March 26, 2024 Somerset County Fire Academy    

Dear Students, If you’re missing credit for a class on your transcript mailed from the State, please send an email to us at firesafety@kean.edu and include the following information: Your first and last name, DFS ID number, the name of the class, the date of the class and the class location. We will verify the roster and if needed update with your information. Please note you can always check to verify you have received credit by logging into your myNJ account at https://my.nj.gov/aui/Login . Your myNJ account is not the account where you register for classes. The site where you register is currently NOT being used to track credit. If you have just created a myNJ account and need an authorization code, please send an email request to firesafety@kean.edu with your name and DFS ID number. Thanks, The Fire Safety Training Program

Update: We have received many questions about this topic. The person who will answer them is currently out of the office. As soon as I have an answer, I will update you. Thanks for your patience. Dear Students, Because we anticipate the adoption of the 2018 IFC later this spring, the Division of Fire Safety is planning to offer multiple Code Update classes in the months of May and June and then again in the fall. These classes will be advertised separately. We are asking students who are currently registered for one of the three Code Update classes offered in April, to kindly withdraw if you are not actively working and your renewal cycle doesn’t end April 30. We need the seats for the folks whose certification will expire. Instructions on how to unenroll/withdraw are in the course brochure and a separate blog on this site. Thank you for your cooperation with this matter. The Fire Safety Training Program Staff  

The correct date for Code Update at Morris County is April 29, 2024.
