Welcome!
The Arizona Fire and Burn Educators Association is proud to welcome you to our website. We hope this will provide a resource for educators and families to find injury prevention materials to help make our communities safer. Be sure to check out the calendar which highlights members’ activities, as well as training opportunities at the National Fire Academy and closer to home in the Southwest.
Make Continuous Learning a New Year’s Resolution
Many of our budgets took a big hit to funds set aside to attend trainings, conferences and other special learning opportunities. This is despite the requirement that we must keep up with continuing education as part of our job requirements. The good news is, there are still many available resources that allow for free or with reasonable fees to attend classes and confabs.
- Be sure to check out the AFBEA Calendar for opportunities nationwide for key learning events.
- For closer-to-home education, visit our Conferences and Training page.
- And for other resources, including on-line training, visit Online-Training and Other Links.
