I'm in need of some help. Without going into too much detail, whether or not I get hired by a particular department could depend on whether or not I have a Pro Board FF1 Certification within 2 weeks.
I'm originally from New Jersey, where I took FF1, FF2, EMT-B, and a number of other classes. I recently moved down to Maryland where I gained reciprocity for FF 1&2, as well as EMT-B. The reciprocity for the fire certs was done through Montgomery County. The problem is that the Department I am applying with will only recognize Pro Board and MFRI certs, which I was not aware of until today.
I went down to the MFRI office and found out that I will not be able to challenge their test until Jan. 19th, which may be too late but I am going to do anyway.
My question: is there a faster way to get Pro Board certified?
