Can I get credit for work I’ve done at my fire academy?

Generally only ACE or Ponsi (now NCEES) credits are acceptable.  You should be able to send a transcript from your academy to the registrars office to get blanket credit for courses if your academy had proper accredidation by one of these organizations.  For example, the Nassau County Fire Academy lists their courses here.  Note that there is a difference between contact hours (the number of hours you spent in class) and the number of credit hours you will receive for a course.
