Hey buddy,

My name is Scott Beauchaine. I am currently a Firefighter/Medic w/ the Virginia Beach Fire Department. I used to be active duty at Eglin AFB. I can't speak on all departments but I had no problems having my certs transfer w/ VA. Beach. The state of Virginia has what they call EMT-Enhanced so that is the only hangup w/ coming in "certified". I still had to go through a full academy but was very glad that I did. I hope this helps you out. Be safe and Good Luck.

Scott

Hey Shaun to answer your question there are many states that will honor your DOD IFSAC certs. I am currently working at a base in Connecticut that the state will honor them only if you have them Pro Board Certified. It will help you tremendously if you pay the 15 bucks and get your DOD certs pro board certified. The ProBoard Certificate's are good for a lifetime and they do not expire. So you will not have to re-train or re-test. Here is the number if you wish to call. Most states that won't honor the DOD certs will honor the Pro Board Certification. Stay Safe.
