CE Solutions/FirefighterCE continuing education courses are accepted by the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) and by any state that accepts continuing education approved by another states fire division. Due to the dynamic nature of changes in individual state regulations it is best to verify with your state to make sure that they accept continuing education courses from CE Solutions.
Texas Firefighters are required to complete 20 hours of continuing education every year to renew all of their certificates. (If you have a Hazmat Technician certificate, you must complete an additional 10 hours, for a total of 30 hours.)
There are two types of continuing education individual TCFP certificate holders can document, either Track A, Track B or a combination of the two. "Track A" is training that repeats course material from any basic curriculum in which you hold your certification. "Track B" is training to develop new fire service-related skills or college courses in fire science: http://www.tcfp.texas.gov/certification/individual_renewals.asp#required_hours
Ohio Firefighters are required to have 54 hours of CE per 3 year certification cycle; this CE must be approved by an Ohio Fire Chief or program director of a chartered fire training program. You may contact the State of Ohio at 800-233-0785 for additional information. Please visit this page for additional information: http://www.publicsafety.ohio.gov/links/ems_hdi_complete_fire_ce_require.pdf
To the best of our knowledge this information is correct. To Verify accuracy of the information please contact your state for the latest acceptance information.
Acceptance of continuing education requirements are subject to change and CE Solutions does not assume any liability for courses taken that are not accepted by your regulatory agency. It is the student's responsibility to ensure the courses are accepted by your agency.
