Fire & Emergency
Drill Conductor Course
Same-day certificate upon completion of training.
Prepare to organize fire and non-fire emergency drills, teach clear procedures and evaluate how a building responds.
Detailed lessons follow the complete FDNY F-07/W-07 study booklet, including occupancy schedules, emergency scenarios and lithium-ion battery safety.
One complete learning route
Prepare for the F-07 or W-07 examination
For applicants and staff who need a structured understanding of emergency plans, staff instruction and drill coordination. Learn how to use the reference tables and choose a supported action in realistic written scenarios.
F-07: premises-related
Prepare for the credential associated with the specified premises. Learn the actual building plan, staffing, routes and procedures for your assignment.
W-07: citywide
Prepare with the shared F-07/W-07 study material for the citywide credential route. Every location still requires its own building-specific orientation.
