Tailboard Academy — firefighter, EMT & paramedic hiring prep.

Tailboard Academy is a complete training program for people trying to get hired in the fire service, built by a working Firefighter/Paramedic and former U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Medical Technician. It covers every step between you and the seat: the entry written exam (NTN/FCTC-style), the EMT and Paramedic (NREMT-style) exams, the CPAT and Biddle physical tests, and the oral board interview.
