Ricky Rescue in Bradenton

Online learning is an amazing resource that works well for today’s firefighters. However, the Florida Bureau of Fire Standards and Training recognizes that the content of certain classes demand an in-person component. For these classes, Ricky Rescue Training Academy offers in-person classroom training in Bradenton and other locations around the state.

While the majority of our courses at Ricky Rescue Training Academy can be completed 100% online, certain online fire certification courses, such as including Aerial Operations, Apparatus Operations, and Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC) require a classroom component. As you progress in your fire service career, classes for Florida Fire Officer, Fire Inspector, Fire Investigator, and Fire Instructor also have an 8-hour in-person classroom component structured into them, and can be taken at other Ricky Rescue locations.

To find our Bradenton schedule, check our in-person schedule online, or contact Ricky Rescue for more information.
