Course Pricing
The pricing quoted above is meant for course delivery at a location other than the Brayton Fire Training Field, for example, a fire station training room or other facility provided by the host department.
Course delivery during an annual school will have additional facility costs factored into the cost of tuition. Therefore, the cost quoted above may differ from the tuition cost on the annual school announcement.
Registration Process
Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service in cooperation with the Texas A&M Forest Service has aligned the payment process for annual schools with all other requests for tuition assistance under the House Bill 2604 program and TIFMAS training grants. Texas A & M Forest Service voucher number or a request ID # is no longer a valid Purchase Order number. It will be denied if used as a form of payment.
The process will follow this pattern: Registration with payment – Apply for tuition assistance & obtain TAMFS approval – Attend training – Complete the reimbursement process.

Complete online registration on the TEEX website. Secure your seat in the class with payment.
