California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Program.

Existing law establishes the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Program and prescribes requirements for classes of related and supplemental instruction in order to qualify for funding, including that the person providing instruction is qualified, by means of education or experience, as a journeyman, and shares the responsibility for supervision of the apprentices participating in the classes with the certified community college or adult education coordinator. This bill would provide, for purposes of issuing credentials to instructors who are required to obtain a specified credential in order to provide instruction as part of the program, that completion of a specified training instructor course and certification as an EMT-I, EMT-II, or EMT-P meet certain of the requirements for that credential.
