Non-Rostered Persons Information

The Northeastern Illinois Public Safety Training Academy (NIPSTA) Firefighter Academy is pleased to present this opportunity for admission to individuals who are not included on a roster of a local fire department or a fire protection district located in the State of Illinois.  These persons are referred to collectively as "non-rostered" and, by definition, are not employed to perform fire suppression duties. 

Application for admission to the NIPSTA Firefighter Academy is available to non-rostered persons so that they may have the opportunity to receive instruction that not only meets, but also exceeds, state and national learning objectives.  The NIPSTA program is the only program of its kind in Illinois.  All training is accomplished on a 20-acre campus in a safe, controlled environment that includes a variety of specialized indoor and outdoor training props.  The nine-week curriculum is state-certified, which results in candidates for employment who are fit-for-duty and ready-to-work.
