Training Opportunities - ESTI provides over 45 NFA and other courses at no direct cost to the host department/agency. The host department/agency need only provide the facility, students, and in some cases reproduction of the student manuals. (NFPA 1041 Instructor I - III courses are the only ESTI provided courses that are fee based).

Request a Course for your Department/Area by clicking this link - Extension Course Request. (Due to demand, please submit no more than 2 requests per year).

National Fire Academy

TEEX's Emergency Services Training Institute (ESTI) is the NFA-recognized State Fire Training agency for the State of Texas. ESTI conducts over 150 NFA Field and Direct Delivery programs each year to departments across Texas.

NFA course deliveries are coordinated through the ESTI Extension program and are taught in various locations throughout the year. For many of the courses, the curriculum and course length may be adjusted to meet client needs. Over 90,000 hours of training occurs annually through the Extension program.

Appropriations from the state of Texas allow the division to conduct these courses at no charge to fire departments or individual students. However, fees are charged for some courses to cover the cost of operational expenses and course materials. Unless otherwise stated, anyone interested in a particular course may attend.

Area Schools

Area Schools are conducted in conjunction with local fire departments. In most cases, the local fire department provides the necessary facilities and equipment while the fire department and guest instructors conduct the course. Area Schools specialize in a variety of subjects such as firefighting, rescue, hazardous materials, officer-leadership development, fire prevention and others. Programs conducted in the Area Schools provide emergency service personnel and departments the opportunity to keep abreast of new developments and gain experience in various subjects in their local area.

For more information about registration, clothing requirements, meals, housing and check-in, please see the PDF for the specific Area School in which you are interested.
