Certifications accepted between states - Firehouse Forums

Rookiz · 02-11-2003, 02:46 PM

Where do I find information on what other states accept my current state certifications? I have certs from CA and FL, and want to find out who will take those or let me challenge the tests without having to do more school. I would like to work in a different state that any of my certificates are from.

Thanks for any information.

Take a look at getting Pro Board Certified.

I have been told that this is what one of my Jr's from MD has to do to come into VA with his Cert's.

from what i have been told and have heard, when you test for states,it is for those states only, but you do have the opportunity to get a national certification which will work in all the states. you may still have to take certain tests, etc. depending on where or who you work for, but i have heard your best bet would be to apply for National certification. good luck!
