FFI, FFII Curriculum/Testing Update

4/27/2026

To all Training Facilities, CTOs, Chiefs, and Staff:

The Texas Commission on Fire Protection will transition to the NFPA 1010 (2024 edition) curriculum and testing standards beginning January 1, 2027.

This means that any student who completes FF-I or FF-II training and takes either the initial or second-attempt state certification written exam on or after January 1, 2027, will be tested under the updated standard. This includes all required performance skills.

Please communicate this information to all individuals who may be affected. Our goal is to ensure everyone has ample time to prepare for this transition.

If you have any questions, please contact the Testing Division at testing@tcfp.texas.gov or 512-379-7430.

UPDATE: Fire Inspectors

All fire inspectors must complete a free training video (approximately five minutes long) on inspecting AEDs in Texas schools. This requirement applies even if you do not currently inspect schools. Fire inspector trainees  must complete this video to be eligible for TCFP certification.

This requirement was enacted by the Texas Legislature during the most recent legislative session and is now a mandatory component of fire inspector certification.

  1. Log in to your personal FIDO account.
    • Forgot your PIN? Visit this link and follow the instructions.
  2. Look for the banner containing the link to the required video.
  3. Watch the video.
  4. When it ends, you have 60 seconds to click the “Complete” tab.
  5. Once selected, your completion will be recorded in FIDO. The banner will disappear.

Verifying Completion

  • Go to your FIDO profile
  • Select Records on the left side of the page
  • Select CERTIFICATIONS in the Green Bar
