Virtual Instructor-Led Training Device Limits

The Fire Commission’s Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) program allows for an additional, flexible platform to train firefighters. Thousands of students have been served through this training option since its inception in 2020. 

Due to how VILT classes are structured and conducted, firefighters may use this platform to attain hours toward Basic 1 and Basic 2 certifications; certified firefighters may use this platform to fulfill the Fire Commission’s annual required training hours. 

Scheduled VILT sessions may be viewed on the Training & Events Calendar on the Fire Commission website’s home page, or by visiting the link below:

To enhance the learning experience for all, effective July 1, 2026, VILT classes will be restricted to a maximum of 75 device logins per class. Multiple participants may share a single device, provided each participant is fully visible on the device’s camera throughout the class and actively engaged in the learning process. All participants must adhere to VILT class rules. 

Participants are asked not to register for a VILT class unless they intend to attend and remain for the duration of the class. Registering for a class and failing to attend, or leaving early for non-emergency reasons, prevents others from accessing training they may need to complete their certification or refresh on the topic. Persons who repeatedly pre-register for a class and do not attend will have VILT privileges revoked.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a high-quality learning environment for all firefighters, and look forward to seeing you in a VILT class soon.
