The New Jersey Fire Safety Training Program at Kean University in conjunction with the New Jersey Division of Fire Safety has made the decision to cancel ALL Spring 2020 semester CEU courses and events including NJ Weekend,  in response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause but it is important that we keep our stakeholders safe until this situation is under control. Our office will be closed until March 31, 2020 as advised by the State.  However, we will be operating via email.
