Starting July 1, 2024, State Fire Training (SFT) will be moving to a new process for returning course rosters and generating and paying invoices. The registered instructor will enroll students directly into the course via their portal and the user portal will generate the invoice electronically once the submission has been approved. SFT expects this new process will reduce the amount of time from roster submission to receiving an invoice for the course. Pilot testing is underway and full information guides are now available on the Course Delivery Webpage.

In preparation for the new feature, it is recommended that persons responsible for paying invoices on behalf of an agency create an SFT ID and portal account, then submit a request to be added to an organization's record as an approved invoice payor.

See the SFT User Portal WebForms page to access both the SFT ID Request form and the Agency Billing Contact Request form.

Starting July 1, 2024, Courses will be requested by a new online form on the SFT User Portal, rather than by e-mailing in a PDF form.

The form will be found on the SFT User Portal WebForms page. The online form contains the same information as the existing PDF but will serve to expedite scheduling and increase accuracy related to properly recording billing information in tandem with the new invoicing feature. This form should be used for all courses that end on or after July 1, 2024.
