I’m assuming you will have to go to ACFA in North park.
Here is the current schedule. Things have changed since I stated. When I started it was an 11 week course 88 hours total just for essentials.

Just please don’t be a whacker and carry 13 pagers, 4 minitors, have 18 sets of blue lights and look like SloShelby.

yea thats where i have to go. I would like to get it all done (everyday) like that schedule but our chief said they have is every saturday too. But it doesn’t look like that is on the schedule. Every saturday may take longer to compelte the course but it would work so much easier with my schedule
