All Kentucky firefighter certifications offered,
that carry IFSAC accredited credentials, require the candidate to complete both a written examination and a skill competency evaluation.
The written portion of the process is usuallyarranged by the lead instructor of class-based certification, such as Level 1
Fire Instructor. Written exams are also available through the offices of State Fire Rescue Training, by contacting the Area
Coordinator of the office nearest you. You can locate that information in SFRT Map of Areas by clicking here to be taken to the page.
Additionally, for your convenience, the Kentucky Fire Commission
offers all written exams at its System Office in Versailles once per month. Typically, it is the third Monday of each month,
adjusted for holidays. The blue boxed area below gives specific details concerning written testing in Versailles and below
that blue area is an online registration section where you may sign up for the monthly written testing.
