PresentationDiscussion

1:49 → 6:46(4m 56s)

Director (commission staff) reported an internal review showing the FAO offering is a course — not an accredited stand‑alone certification — and recommended continuing the FAO course but issuing PDO and AADO certifications (the accredited credentials) to students who complete the FAO course and its skill sheets. He proposed either keeping one combined FAO test (with dual issuance) or splitting into separate PDO and AADO tests; he recommended keeping general requirements in test(s).

Speakers:

Tennessee Fire Commission held a special online meeting to resolve certification and testing procedures: it voted to continue the FAO course but issue PDO and AADO certifications, set a minimum written-test scheduling threshold of five students, authorize in‑house practical evaluators for several certifications, and clarify that ERG references are not allowed during certain written hazmat tests.
