 Need In-Service Hours?
Check out the electronic training calendar! This calendar is a "living document "and is updated frequently as Instructors commit to class presentations, so check it often. The Academy no longer hosts a static 40 hour In-Service week. We offer a multitude of topics throughout the year to pick and choose from, to better serve the educational needs of our members. Since we started this program, we have averaged 150 free-standing in-service classes per calendar year, so there are plenty of educational topics to meet your needs. (12-10-09 )
