With the support of their local IAFF affiliate, any department can serve as a host site.
In order to host an F2T 101 Fitness Principles and Practice Course, departments must complete the pre-approval process. To assist in this process, we have created several documents to act as guides and checklists. A checklist summarizing all pre-approval requirements can be found by clicking the link HERE.
The pre-approval process consists of 6 components, each of which is detailed below. Only 5 of these components need to be submitted as part of the pre-approval process – the draft service contract is to be shared with your departmental legal team PRIOR to submitting your application to allow adequate time for them to review and request changes.
Once all documentation has been reviewed and approved, you will be contacted with a proposed course date, course service contract, and associated invoice. A $10,000 USD deposit is required in order to secure your course date. Once approved, your status as an eligible host will remain valid for 1 calendar year.
Once you have gathered all necessary documentation, click the button below to begin your pre-approval process.

The base cost of an in-person F2T 101 course is $24,975 USD and includes instruction for up to 25 people. Additional students up to 35 are $999 USD per student.
Once a course date has been proposed, potential hosts will have 30 days to pay a $10,000 USD deposit to secure their date. The remaining balance must be paid in full by the first day of the exam period associated with their course. Any unpaid fees will result in participants being unable to receive their exam results and PFT certificates.
*The course fee is non-refundable. Complete F2T refund policies can be found HERE. Additional fees and adjustments to this payment schedule may apply outside of the Continental United States and Canada*

Departments that already possess the required equipment or place their own equipment order will be required to submit video and/or image documentation as part of their hosting application for verification.
