Thanks for the encouragement guys! Yes my state is IFSAC and the training center is also certified IFSAC. I am excited to start the program later this year and maybe start testing to get practice in at least until I complete medic school or get hired, whichever is first!

Check with you state fire marshalls office and see what kind of accredidation they require if any at all. Some states will accept certifications from other states too. But I agree with the other two. Take the class, you will not regret it.

I'm gonna have to burst your bubble Kate....
If you take that FF Certification, you'll fall dead in love with the job, you're realize how much fun it really is. Your going to feel the adrenaline flow through your system, you'll be hooked for life after the first run, that's where you'll have realized, your a FF... and your dreams of flight medic will have to wait for your next life.....
on the other hand, you'll be in the brotherhood.... you'll be the elite, that's right, you'll be a Firefighter....

Kate, If you have time take the class. Any training you take will help you on your way. I never took any class that I did not get something from it. Good luck on the road ahead.
