Exclusive Partner Benefits
Public Safety Training & Development (PSTD) and American Military University (AMU) have partnered to provide educational opportunities to PSTD graduates and their families. AMU has evaluated the training offered by PSTD and has found many of their courses worthy of academic credit toward an undergraduate program such as our A.S. in Fire Science or B.S. in Fire Science Management. Credit awarded will vary based upon which PSTD training courses the student has completed and academic program selected.
AMU offers an online learning experience that is driven by faculty who have real-world experience and the knowledge to equip you with the skills needed to face today’s challenges. They work hard to make sure that our programs are in alignment with industry trends and are tailored to provide career-relevant education.
