Foundational Skills Assessment (FSA)

TX-TF PRogress Checks

After passing screening to join TX-TF, new canine teams are put on a timeline to challenge the FEMA Certification Evaluation. This timeline includes Progress Checks that are conducted every 8 weeks and are used to help handlers identify training gaps and guide their training progress to the FSA and CE.
