NFPA Debuts Authorized Education Network for Safety Training Demand

The National Fire Protection Association has launched the Authorized Education Network (AEN), a global initiative designed to meet the increasing demand for high-quality safety training.

Through the AEN, NFPA-approved instructors will deliver NFPA training courses via a network of authorized training providers, offering unparalleled access to the expertise that professionals worldwide rely on to address evolving safety challenges.

"With the NFPA Authorized Education Network, we're taking a major step forward in expanding access to the world-class training that NFPA is known for," said Jim Pauley, NFPA president and CEO. "This initiative helps meet the huge global demand for authentic NFPA instructor-led training, ensuring that safety professionals everywhere have the knowledge, information, and skills they need to protect lives and property."

Organizations and individuals within the fire, electrical, and life safety sectors are invited to apply to become an NFPA authorized training provider. Whether a safety-focused association, a consulting firm, or a training company, joining the AEN will allows companies and training professionals to offer valuable, recognized training that can significantly boost their reputation and value.
