# O.C.G.A. § 25-7-8. Attendance and effect of training programs.

It is not the intention of this chapter that it be mandatory that any firefighter be required to attend the academy. The training program established at the academy shall not supersede any training program for firefighters now in existence or hereafter established but shall be separate and apart from any other training programs for firefighters.
