We wanted to walk you through the admissions process from application to acceptance to give you a step-by-step look at what it’s like and what to expect.
You may submit your application either online or get support from our Admissions Team by contacting our office. Once the application form is completed, including the program of choice, the following documents must be submitted to progress to the next stage:
Upon receipt of these documents and approval of your application, you will be contacted to schedule a phone interview. This interview serves as an opportunity to review your documents and assess your eligibility for the program.
If your application is approved, you will be required to pay a registration deposit of $500. This deposit secures your place in the program and will be applied towards the tuition fee upon completion of the application process. Information on payment options can be found on our Payment Options page.
Upon receipt of the registration deposit, your enrollment in the program will be confirmed. You may refer to our Orientation page to ensure you are fully prepared for the start of the program or consult our Tips to Prepare for Fire Academy for additional information.
We are currently accepting applications for both our Full-Time and Blended programs. Limited spaces are available, so please act promptly to secure your spot.
