Course Description

This is the first of two skills courses which must be mastered in order to complete your Firefighter Level I training. It is comprised of the skills which are the live-fire prerequisites as outlined by NFPA 1403. These skills must be completed prior to a participant going into an interior live-fire training scenario. The materials for ASP602 corresponds to the skill sheets found in the 7th Edition of IFSTA’s Essentials of Firefighting. Please bring your textbook to the skills sessions. 

If you are already a member of a fire department, many if not all of these skills may be completed at your home department. Training must be well documented and approved by a certified instructor / certification coordinator. Whether you choose to complete the skills at your home department or with us at the Brayton Fire Training Field, you will be ready to experience live-fire training for the first time.

Once you complete this course and receive training in the remainder of Firefighter Level I skills, you may be eligible for certification. Please check with the fire certification agency in your area to learn what qualifications are required.

This course is not a Pro Board certification and cannot be converted to Pro Board. It also does not directly lead to IFSAC or TCFP certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Payment Info

We have streamlined the process for payment via Texas A&M Forest Service funding (H.B. 2604 or TIFMAS Grant Assistance Program). Before you register for a course, you must attain approval from the Texas A&M Forest Service for training tuition. On your approval letter, there will be a voucher approval number. Each participant approved for tuition grant assistance will need this number.

Register for your course through your TEEX student portal. On the payment section, choose “Purchase Order” and enter the “VFDE” number (for example “E123456”). If your department was approved for multiple participants, each participant up to the maximum approved in the training tuition request may use the same VFDE number. If the total amount due is greater than the total amount allowed by the tuition voucher, the individual/department will be responsible for the difference. You are no longer required to email or fax the approval letter to TEEX/ESTI unless it is specifically requested by TEEX staff. 

The PO contact email needs to be either yourself or a responsible person within your organization.

A new data field has been added to the payment process. The Tax ID (Tax Payer ID, EIN or FEIN) will be the number assigned to your organization. The field is required and needs to be in the following format: xx-xxxxxxx.
