Apostrophe in compound nouns

Training Program for German Fire Fighters
German Fire Fighters Training
German Fire Fighters' Training

Do they mean the same, or does the last sentence suggest that German Fire Fighters are the ones to give the training (rather than being trained)?

Your comments are appreciated! Thank you.
