All Kentucky firefighter certifications offered,
that carry IFSAC accredited credentials, require the candidate to complete both a written examination and a skill competency evaluation.

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.
