No, unfortunately, we do not have copies. We can send you a transcript showing the classes you have taken at Bucks County Community College. You must complete a Transcript Request Form.
Exception: If you have lost an IFSAC or ProBoard certificate issued by the Bucks County Community College, these can be replaced, however there is a replacement fee of $15 per certificate. Please contact the Certification Office at email PSCertification@bucks.edu for more information.
Students should register for courses through the Campus Marketplace self-service portal whenever possible. Begin by accessing the course catalog, logging in to your account, and searching for available courses or course sections. Once you find a course, review the section details, including dates, location, cost, and seat availability, then select Register Me to add the course to your cart. During checkout, complete any required demographic information and answer registration questions before proceeding to payment. Self-service registrations require payment at the time of registration to secure enrollment.
If a student is unable to complete self-service registration, or if an employer or organization is sponsoring the student, academy staff may be able to assist. The student and/or employer/organization will be required to complete the registration process.
Our Course / Request Application is online under Forms and Documents. Just fill out the application and send it via email to PSState@bucks.edu and give us 8 weeks lead time to arrange for an instructor to contact your department concerning resource acquisition. For some specialty class it would more efficient for your department to contact one of our field representatives, to put you in direct contact with an instructor for coordination of course before submitting a course application.
NOTE: This process is for PA Municipal Fire and Emergency Services. All other groups should contact us via fireschool@bucks.edu for specific information on how to host a course including fees, payment, and restrictions.
Students registering through the Campus Marketplace self-service portal are required to pay at the time of registration. After completing the registration process and checking out, payment can be made through the secure TransAct payment system using a credit card, debit card, or bank account. Bank account payments do not incur a transaction fee, while credit and debit card payments are subject to a service fee. Once payment is successfully processed, the student is automatically enrolled in the course.
If a student is being sponsored by an employer, organization, grant, or scholarship, the registration may be completed through the sponsoring organization or administratively by college staff. In those situations, an invoice can be generated and emailed to the student or sponsoring organization for later payment. If you have any billing questions feel free to contact PSFinancials@bucks.edu.
Directions are available on the Directions & Lodging page.
No. There are no on-site overnight accommodations. Lodging is available within a short driving distance. See the Directions & Lodging page for more information.
Students who need to cancel their registration should log into Campus Marketplace self-service portal and cancel their registration. If a refund is due this will be processed as a credit minus the TransAct fee (if applicable). This credit within Campus Marketplace will allow the student to use the credit if they are attempting to register for another section or course (a difference in cost may apply and need to be handled at checkout).
Refunds are reviewed on a weekly basis and processed accordingly if not used. Refunds based on payment could take up to three weeks to process.
For most classes you will receive a Bucks County Community College certificate upon successful completion of the course. You will receive the certificate via Campus Marketplace via a notification by email that is on your registration profile. Those training certificates with courses starting after January 01, 2026 can be found and downloaded within Campus Marketplace.
If you have classes certificates from December 31, 2026 and prior you will need to request a transcript as our office does not keep copies of training certificates. See the "I lost my certificate. Can you send me a copy?" above for directions.
If you take an Accredited Professional Certification (ProBoard) exam (written and/or practical skills) and have completed the entire process successfully, you will receive an Accredited Professional Certification certificate carrying a numbered ProBoard seal on a Bucks County Community College Certificate via USPS.
Course Certificates:
Course paperwork is processed in the order received from the instructors. The traditional time frame for certificates is between 4 to 8 weeks dependent upon the amount of class paperwork received. Certificates are processed directly through Campus Marketplace and will be available for download by the individual student once the final course grades are added.
ProBoard Certificates:
Course paperwork is processed in the order received from the instructors along with the evaluators paperwork. This process can take up to 8 weeks based on when the education and testing is completed. (Canvas courses are open for approximately 30 days from the end of the course that may delay processes.) Once an candidate for an Accredited Professional Certification (ProBoard) exam (written and/or practical skills) has completed the entire process successfully, you will receive an Accredited Professional Certification certificate carrying a numbered ProBoard seal on a Bucks County Community College Certificate via USPS. If you are unsuccessful or other information is needed you will receive a letter outlining those requirements.
The International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) and National Professional Qualifications Board (ProBoard) are independent organizations that examine and accredit training and testing agencies. What this means is that an outside, independent source has examined our tests and testing processes and determined that our test can accurately examine candidates on each aspect of a standard, such as NFPA 1010. Your successful completion of the certification exam means that you will receive a certificate and be registered with IFSAC and/or ProBoard as having demonstrated your competency in that discipline.
No, all levels of certification have a testing process to ensure you meet the standard you are testing.
Please contact the Bucks County Community College Veterans Benefits Office at VABenefits@bucks.edu in the Admissions Office for details and assistance. When contacting, please make sure you indicate you are looking at course through the Public Safety Training Center so they do not confuse you with a student pursuing a Degree Program.
