According to college fire technology instructor, Kurt Rhoades, "Some of the graduates have obtained intern and volunteer positions at local fire departments since entering the academy. Many of the students will pursue associate degrees in fire technology at Columbia College." The students must complete six additional months of full-time or one year of part-time field experience before applying to the state for Firefighter I Certification.
