Firefighter and Officer Promotional & Entry Classes

Firefighter and Officer Promotional & Entry Level Classes

Finally, have the knowledge and confidence to pass your exam!

The mission of the Fire Officer Training Academy is to ensure our students have the expert knowledge needed to pass their fire department Civil Service promotional exams and the entry level firefighter exam the first time. All students will receive all the tools necessary to succeed in both the written and oral portions of their exams.

The Fire Officer Training Academy’s instructors know the Oral exam separates you from your competition.  We teach you a systematic and highly organized strategy of instruction that prepares and positions you for success in any scenario on the day of your exam. Our role playing exercises give you the opportunity to hear how the instructors answer the scenarios so you can hear how good you can become. This will instill the confidence you need to overcome your fears in front of the camera.

Our written classes cover in detail all the civil service book-reading lists. You will receive multiple study guides and be given mock testing to monitor your progress. Unlike our competition, we have a personal investment in each student’s success to go above and beyond what is taught in the classroom to help him or her achieve their career goals.
