Candidates must register through the FDNY's official portal to apply for the F-02 Fireguard exam, ensuring all required information and documentation are submitted.
The FDNY requires candidates to bring a Notice of Exam and a valid photo ID for identity verification before taking the test.
The F-02 Fireguard certification is valid for two years, after which the holder must renew it to continue performing fireguard duties.
Certification renewal involves submitting a renewal application, providing any necessary documentation, and paying the required fee before the current certification expires.
Once the certification expires, the individual must retake and pass the F-02 Fireguard exam to become certified again, as there is no grace period for renewal.
