Course Description: The Certified Fire Inspector I (CFI-I) credential helps skilled personnel provide evidence of competence by passing a rigorous certification exam. Based on the job performance requirements outlined in NFPA 1031, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner, and the application of NFPA 1, Fire Code; NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems; NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems; NFPA 72®, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code®; and NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, the CFI-I certification promotes professionalism and career development and ensures a uniform, fair process for certification that is accessible to all candidates who meet eligibility.

For the CFI-1 2018 edition prep-class:
