2-Year Degree & Certificate Of Achievement:

Chabot College offers the following degrees and/or certificates:

 

  • 2-year degree in Fire Technology
  • 2-year degree in Fire Prevention Inspector
  • Certificate of Achievement in Fire Technology
  • Certificate of Achievement in Fire Prevention Inspector
     

The primary difference between a 2-year degree and a Certificate of Achievement is that the degree requires the student to also take the General Education courses. If you are debating about which to obtain, go for the 2-year degree as it will look better on your resume and the General Education courses will be of tremendous benefit.
