ADVANCE YOUR CAREER, BECOME CERTIFIED

Earning your FYFIN Certification is a recognized and respected way to showcase your proficiency in youth firesetting intervention education.  

Certification serves as an instrument of measure to show an individual has achieved a level of knowledge, skill, or readiness to address specific situations they might be expected to encounter.

The Florida Youth Firesetter Intervention Specialist Certification and the Florida Youth Firesetter Intervention Program Manager Certification are based on NFPA 1035, Standard on Youth Firesetter Intervention Specialist, 

and Youth Firesetter Intervention Program Manager Professional 

Qualifications.  The FYFIN Written Exams are based on information acquired from all three (3) courses listed below along with NFPA 1035.

If a person obtains a FYFIN membership and becomes certified under FYFIN, all certifications will remain in active status while the person is a member of FYFIN.  FYFIN Members who pass a written test will receive the digital certified logo which can be placed near their digital signature of their emails.

If a member does not renew their FYFIN membership annually, there certifications will be dropped within 90 days after the membership's expiration.   After 90 days, the student would be placed on non-active certification status and their digital certificate logo, that was sent to them, would need to be removed from their email signature.  If after 90 days a person would like to be listed as certified again, this person would have to apply to retake the FYFIN written exam.

Students are not required to become a FYFIN member when sitting for a written exam.  All certified non-members will have to pay a recertification fee of $75 to FYFIN every year to maintain this FYFIN certification.
