NFPA 1000, Standard for Fire Service Professional Qualifications Accreditation and Certification Systems, establishes the minimum criteria for accrediting bodies and the assessment and validation of the process used to certify fire and related emergency response personnel to professional qualifications standards.

NFPA 1000, Standard for Fire Service Professional Qualifications Accreditation and Certification Systems, is essential for:

• Organizations providing accreditation to entities certifying fire and related emergency response personnel and institutions of higher education that grant degrees for non-engineering, fire-related academic programs
• Entities certifying fire and related emergency response personnel as having met or complied with a recognized national standard
• Non-engineering, fire-related, academic, degree-granting programs offered by institutions of higher education

Changes in the 2022 edition include:

• Clarification that the programs are what they are accredited for and not the entities that oversee the programs.
• An updated version of the overview of job performance requirements, including examples of action verbs that can be used and potential assessment methodology samples
• A new requirement that degree-granting entities must address nondiscrimination and anti-harassment in their established policies and practices
• Clarification of the issue of recertification and renewal with new definitions for the terms and additional information on establishing policies to address them
