Firefighter Career Prep

Becoming a firefighter isn’t just about getting hired, it’s about preparing yourself for one of the most challenging and rewarding careers in the world. At Train Your Probie, we’ve built this career prep section to guide you through the entire process, step by step.

Why We Started This

When we built TYP, we saw countless candidates with the drive and passion to serve, but who struggled to navigate the hiring process. From writing resumes to crushing the aptitude test, too many good people were getting held back. Not because they weren’t capable, but because they didn’t have the right guidance.

We started this section to change that. Our mission is to equip future firefighters with the tools, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed, from the very first application to the day you earn your badge.

Why It Matters

Getting hired as a firefighter is competitive. Every step of the process counts, and the difference between landing your dream career or not often comes down to preparation. By learning what departments are really looking for and preparing ahead of time, you’ll stand out from the crowd and give yourself the best shot at success.

This is where we come in. We’ve created resources designed by firefighters, for firefighters. Real tools to help you take the next step in your career.
