Welcome to Texas Fire Academy

Texas Fire Academy provides online fire service training that is second to none and has received praise by the Texas Commission on Fire Protection for excellent state test averages. Over the past several years we have trained hundreds of students from all over the country. Texas Fire Academy provides advanced adult on-line educational services tailored to the fire service. By combining state of the art distance learning paradigms with the latest in fire fighting evolutions, TFA provides the ultimate in a fire service educational experience.

 

Texas Fire Academy is currently running a basic fire fighter academy consisting of on-line course work and hands-on skills days. The on-line course work allows students to meet in a virtual learning environment created by their instructor. In each section of the course, students can expect to interact with instructors via chat rooms, discussion forums, email, and through other interactive media.

During this academy, students can expect to work on-line 16-20 hours a week at their leisure. Then every two weeks cadets will report for a 48-hour hands on training shift. Cadets will bunk in a working fire station and spend their time developing their team building skills, forming study groups and performing fire fighter training evolutions*. This valuable experience combines the traditional team approach of on site course work with the advanced on-line environment. By combining the two methods, Texas Fire Academy produces top quality graduates ready to face the challenges of the fire profession.
