4worldlovers: The Fire Cadet program is a unique blend of training designed to prepare cadets for the academic, emotional and physical rigors required to be successful as a Milwaukee Firefighter. During the approximately 100 weeks of training cadets complete academic coursework at the college level and attend classes taught by a variety of personnel including MFD instructors, college professors, MCEMS training staff, and a variety of medical professionals at local teaching hospitals to include Anesthesiologists, Cardiologists, Obstetricians, Emergency Room nurses and physicians, nutritionists, fitness trainers, and medical examiner staff to name a few.

The organization of the Fire Cadet Program closely follows the semester schedule of most Milwaukee Area Colleges and Universities. Cadets are required to complete the components of a given semester in order to maintain employment and progress in the program. With the exception of Wisconsin Firefighter 1, and Anatomy and Physiology courses are taught at an accelerated pace, but are included as a component of the fire cadets work day. Fire Cadets work a 40 hour week, but because of the variety of organizations involved in the training and the availably of certain opportunities, facilities and equipment fire cadets schedules will vary throughout the training.

The list below highlights the major program components, and is subject to revision.
