"Jump-Start" Program:

Working Fire Training has been a valuable video training resource for thousands of subscribing fire departments across North America. For over 15 years, WFT and the University of Cincinnati Fire Science program have been partnering to give firefighters and prospective fire science students an alternative way to earn their Associates and Bachelors degrees.

Students desiring to earn their degree at UC may get a "jump-start" worth 22 credits just by viewing UC Professor and Fire Chief, Bill Kramer, and his famous "Kramer vs. Kramer" debates on Working Fire Training’s video programs.

See a sample Working Fire Training program and a Kramer vs. Kramer debate! 
Or go to workingfire.com and click the Sample Program link.


Here's how the program works:

1.  We send you 22 hour-long Working Fire Training programs, including
     the 2-minute “Kramer vs. Kramer” debate on each program.

2.  View the programs and answer the three questions posed by Professor
      Kramer.

3.  Submit your answers from each program for one (1) credit-hour toward
     your degree...up to 22 credit-hours...and save 66% off those hours!
     View 22 programs – get 22 credits!

4.  Pursue the remainder of your Associates or Bachelors degree.
(The University can supply you with all the details about their degree programs).

Budget Billing:

22 credit hours at the University of Cincinnati would normally cost $5775.00. Through the Jump-Start program, you pay only $1999.00 (if paid in full)!  OR…you can pay four (4) easy installments of $549.73 – INTEREST-FREE!  Personal check or any major credit card is accepted.

Hundreds of firefighters have received their Associates and Bachelors degrees via this program. For the first time, it is now being made available to ANY prospective student toward a degree in Fire Science at the University of Cincinnati – even if you’re not affiliated with a subscribing department!
