As part of its training and certification program, the Maine Office of State Fire Marshal offers free online training opportunities in the various certification disciplines required by Code Enforcement Officers, Third Party Inspectors and Local Plumbing Inspectors. Every attempt is made to record these trainings. Instructions on how to apply for contact hour credits are given at the end of each training, and can be applied for whether one watches the online training live or its recording. Some videos are listed under more than one discipline, but credit can only be given once to the discipline of your choice.
The following are previously recorded online trainings available for viewing now. As we conduct additional trainings, the recordings will be added here:
