Fire Safety Certification & Training (C-14)
C-14 Certification
When a laboratory is open and running, New York City requires at least one of the occupants to be C-14 certified. To obtain certification, Barnard students must take a test in Brooklyn.
Qualifications
To qualify for C-14 certification, you must have completed the following:
- 21 credits in a science course
- 60 credits
Test prep
To prepare for the test, we recommend that you either attend the review class or review the material online.
Planning to take the test
- Confirm that they are open and bring necessary materials by visiting the NYC Business site with information on the C-14 certification.
- Double check the requirements as the requirements change.
- Review the study guide and online materials.
- Fill out the A-20 form
