The Chairman of the would be committee will mentor you throughout the year to get you prepared to take over the reigns the following year.

2009 Code Change Cycle General Information

The TASO Training and Certification Unit (TCU) announce its 2010 calendar year schedule effective January 1, 2010. This schedule reflects trends consistent with the current registration and economic climate. Although reductions in academy course and specialty offerings are necessary, this schedule continues to provide all required courses for certification during the calendar year. In addition to the reduction in course offerings, another significant change is the elimination of dinner provided to lodgers each day of training. Breakfast will continue to be served to lodgers only as well as the lunch to all students during training days, as the budget permits

TCU appreciates your patience during this difficult economic climate as we strive to satisfy all of your training needs. In an effort to provide adequate offerings across the state, TCU will update the schedule as the economic climate improves and registration trends increase. Please note all offerings are subject to change or cancellation based on enrollment of 15 persons of less, program need, and instructor availability.
