Idaho Firefighter - Emergency Services Training and Certification Exams
Idaho Fire Training-The Emergency Services Training Program (EST) of the Idaho Division of Professional-Technical Education provides coordination of training of Idaho's emergency service agencies. The goal of EST is to plan, administer and deliver uniform, comprehensive statewide training programs.
This site is a very excellent source to find the current information on firefighter, Haz-mat, and instructor information. Idaho has programs that are accredited through IFSAC If you are already a firefighter, then this site may even be more helpful to you. Keep in mind that if you are a Firefighter 1 or Firefighter II that you must keep up on your education. If you find yourself running low on hours you can use Firefighter Exam to boost your CEU's. It is ultimately up to the authority having jurisdiction according to EST managers.
To become a firefighter in Idaho the requirements are very small. If you want to become a career firefighter we recommend becoming an EMT and having your FFI certification or a fire science degree. It recommended becoming a volunteer first to gain experience, and take every test or exam you can to prepare yourself.
