NWTC embraces a learner-centered philosophy, where learners prepare for Fire Service by practicing real life-scenarios in a safe, monitored environment. We challenge students to exercise their knowledge and perform their skills in a manner that maintains the highest level of safety both for themselves and the communities they may ultimately serve.

We provide a wide range of offerings including:

• Certification-level training through the Wisconsin Technical College System. The WTCS curriculum is IFSAC certified in FF1 & FF2.
• Refresher training to review performance objectives including Search and Rescue, Ropes and Knots, and Ladders.

We also challenge firefighters in cutting-edge areas such as Rapid Intervention, Engine Company Tactics, Truck Company Tactics, Flammable Liquids, Class A Foam, Incident Command, Haz Mat, Engine Testing, Ladder Testing, Fire Investigation, Propane Emergencies, Technical Rescue, and Water Rescue.

NWTC provides training opportunities to ensure firefighters' compliance with basic and intermediate ICS to begin the Homeland Security compliance process as well as the standards of NFPA and Comm. 30.
