This application allows administrators to schedule classes, register instructors, enroll fire fighters, and track certifications. Administrators may add users and assign user roles to the application dynamically. They can view classes on the calendar page and add, edit, or remove their corresponding registrations as necessary. In addition, volunteer instructors use the registration page in Fire Certification Tracker to assign grades, award certificates, and provide course feedback.

Busy students use Fire Certification Tracker to check training schedules and manage certifications online. Students can access the application remotely to schedule training, review grades, and print certificates.

Approximately 20 internal users (administrators and teachers) and 250 external users (students) process 10,000 transactions each month.

• Adding a MediaChase calendar control to display training schedule


• Adding a multiple document interface to prevent users losing their place when switching to other areas of the application


• Adding functionality to calculate an instructor’s travel distance from class


• Integrating a custom reporting tool called Custom AdHoc Report Generator to define and manage custom reports


• Incorporating Crystal Reports allowing users to print certificates

We used Telerik Web Controls to integrate online help into the application. Content is updated dynamically for every page.

Fire Certification Tracker is also available in multiple languages. We enhanced the standard localization features in Iron Speed Designer to update page and control translations dynamically at run-time. Control text is altered using metadata which stores the translation text.
