Online Weekday (Mon / Wed / Fri) – Fire & Life Safety Director (FLSD)

Online FLSD Course Overview

The course is conducted over two weeks (Monday / Wednesday / Friday), totaling six live online class sessions from 8:30am to 2:00pm.

This live online FLSD course is for Fire and Life Safety Director candidates preparing to meet FDNY requirements for New York City buildings. The course is designed for building staff, fire safety professionals, and emergency action plan personnel who need structured FLSD training and exam preparation.

This FDNY-accredited course is delivered live by an instructor through a face-to-face online learning platform. It provides the required 31 hours of instruction for Fire and Life Safety Director candidates.

The FLSD course is divided into two components:

1. Fire Safety Component
2. Non-Fire Emergencies with Active Shooter/Medical Emergencies Component

Note: FDNY requires students to attend all scheduled online classes to be eligible to take the required training course’s final examinations for each component.

To receive a school completion letter, students must earn a passing score of 70% or higher on each final exam. Students are allowed two attempts to pass each exam. Students who do not pass after the second attempt must retake the full course.
