Common Questions
The Bureau of Fire Standards and Training (BFST) incorporates three fire course prefixes: FFP, BFST, and ATPC. The corresponding course title, curriculum, learning outcomes, and four-digit numbering of courses remained the same. Which of these three prefixes are accepted for credits at Polk State College towards the Fire Science Technology A.S. program?
All three prefixes equally apply towards a corresponding State Fire Certification. Therefore, all three prefixes are accepted for articulation of credits at Polk State College through State Certification (i.e., Fire Officer I (new version), Fire Officer I (old version), Fire Officer II, Fire Safety Inspector I, Fire Safety Inspector II, and Investigator (new version) or Investigator I (old version)).
