Fire Protection Technician
The Fire Protection Technician Program at Fox Valley Technical College (FVTC) provides graduates a variety of employment options in the fire protection field. While graduates mainly gain entry-level jobs with municipal fire departments, many find employment with insurance companies, fire protection equipment companies, fire protection systems companies, and state or federal fire protection agencies. This program is also shared with several other WTCS colleges through a combination of conventional classroom and distance education methodologies.

The Fire Protection Technician Program at Madison Area Technical College (MATC-Madison) is designed to address the constant changes that are creating a demand for college-trained people in the fire service. Opportunities for graduates exist with municipal fire departments, insurance and government agencies and in the field of industrial safety. The program meets the needs of those preparing for employment as well as those of personnel currently employed in fire service positions.
