I am one of the Firefighter/Paramedics that was in attendance for the FTO certification class held in Harker Heights. Let me say that it was a privilege to be in attendance for those four days and that I believe whole-heartedly that your program should be the model for our fire department’s FTO program.
Matt Truitt, HHFD, Firefighter/Paramedic
Strengths: "Knowledge of instructors and ability to create interest in topic discussion within class. Presentations opened avenues of discussion and created a comfortable atmosphere."
Lt. Rand Henderson, Montgomery Co. SO
"I feel better prepared to train as an FTO. Very good visual aids as well as note taking opportunities provided to the classroom. I would recommend this to any officer who wants to put forth the effort to train in his dept."
Jack Johnson, Round Rock PD
"A very good class. Very well structured with visual & written aids that helped the students learn and retain. One of the best schools I have attended. Instructors kept your attention."

"The class helped me get a grasp as to what is needed to build an FTO program in my dept."
