Company Officer Leadership Training Symposium
COLTS, Company Officer Leadership Training Symposium, is an intensive and fast-paced 20-24 hour course for newly appointed, existing or aspiring company officers.
Based upon selective requirements of the NFPA 1021 Fire Officer Standard, the training symposium is designed to expose the student to thought-provoking challenges and stress the profound responsibility that the company officer has within the tactical deployment of emergency response operations. 

Presented by a faculty of highly regarded and experienced fire service officers, commanders and instructors, this training symposium will help chart your path for excellence in company level operations and management. 

The symposium can be delivered over the course of a weekend, starting on Friday evening,  continuing all-day Saturday, culminating with a keynote speaker presentation on that evening. The program continues on Sunday.
