How the transcript system works
- When you just select the department name and click on "Find transcripts" all transcripts for the members of your fire department will appear.
- If you add your last name to the department name and click on "Find transcripts" your individual transcript (and anyone with the same last name on your department) will appear.
- If you add your first name to the department name & last name and click on "Find transcripts" your individual transcript will appear.
The transcripts reflect - to the best of our ability - the sign-in sheets which were circulated through the classrooms. We realize that this system is not 100% effective and there may be mistakes or omissions. Please contact Tim Farmer via email at farmertd@comcast.net if there is a need to adjust your transcript.
Thank you for attending the conference.
