RESTON, Va. — The Commission on Professional Credentialing (CPC) has introduced the Fire and Emergency Services Analyst (FESA) credential, its seventh designation and second new addition in two years. Based on NFPA 1022 standards, FESA highlights the vital role of analysts in modern fire and emergency services.

CPSE has advanced the role of analysts through initiatives like the 2018 Analyst Incubator, leading NFPA 1022 development, and co-chairing the USFA Data Strategy Workgroup. The FESA credential reinforces its commitment to elevating analysis in fire and emergency services, the commission stated in a press release.

“This tremendous achievement is the direct result of the dedication of CPC designees, commissioners, and volunteers,” CPSE Board President and Mesa Fire and Medical Fire Chief Mary Cameli said. “Being a CPC designee myself, I appreciate how thorough and rewarding the process is. It’s an honor to be among such dedicated professionals as we celebrate this historic milestone.”

A cross-functional team of CPSE staff, CPC commissioners, peer reviewers, and a 19-member technical working group of analysts and fire professionals collaborated to develop the FESA credential. Divided into subcommittees, they met or exceeded all milestones, bringing the credential to life.

The FESA application, including eligibility, cost, and process, is now on the CPSE website. Learn more at the FESA Information Session webinar on Dec. 6.
