EVT CERTFICATION TRACKS

The EVT Certification Program has four emergency vehicle certification tracks and a Management Track. The emergency vehicle certification tracks are for fire apparatus, ambulance, law enforcement, and Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Vehicle technicians.  Technicians have two options of becoming EVT Certified. 

Option 1: Technicians can become certified in the specific test area(s) by taking only the EVT exams 
Option 2: Technicians can attain the highest EVT Certification by combining EVT and ASE exams to reach Level I, II and Master EVT Certification.
