Dean: have you tried this site? www.nfpa.org/nbfspq/Didn't have a lot of time this morning to noodle around it, but the title page seems right. I know that for Incident Safety Officer and Health and Safety Officer Pro Board certifications, the FDSOA had to submit a detailed curiculum to the Pro Board for review and approval prior to offering it. I took the FDSOA test, which apparently had the Pro Board blessing and subsequently received a certification from Pro Board. |

Sounds like it...apparently each organization must be reviewed prior to Pro Board giving its blessing...so you have to shop for the right organization. Problem is, while Pro Board certification is a good thing, it's not exactly a "national" certification since (as far as I can tell), it's not necessarily universally accepted. For example, if you were to apply to a large or medium sized department, you'd still have to go through their academy regardless of prior education or experience, which (to me) negates the benefit of obtaining a certification.
