Your FIDO account will only display eligibility for certification once you have met ALL requirements for a specific discipline/level.

If you have ever tested with the commission or held certification, please do not create a new FIDO account if you are unable to log in. Contact the commission at 512-936-3838 for assistance.

To become certified in Incident Commander you must:

You may be exempt from the exam requirement if you have never been certified and hold an IFSAC seal or TEEX Proboard certificate.
