The FPS (First Person Shooter) Certification is designed to certify Rescue Squad members with skills in ground combat. Similar to our Fighter Pilot Certification, candidates will undergo a series of exercises showcasing their combat abilities. The breakdown below provides an overview of each rank and the expected actions the candidate must complete to achieve that certification level.

PLEASE NOTE: Full adherence to the Rescue Squad One uniform policy is required. Failure to meet expectations will result in the removal or demotion of the certification level.
