- In order to apply for reciprocity with the State of Colorado you must be either a resident of Colorado or affiliated with a Colorado Emergency Services Agency.
- If you meet that criteria, you can submit an application and copies of your IFSAC or ProBoard accredited certification using the “Reciprocity/Non-Accredited Certification Application” (see link below).
- Your application and certifications will be reviewed and you may be issued a Renewable, Non-Accredited Colorado Certification.
- You must meet the prerequisites in order to test above your current level.
