The State Fire Training User Portal

The State Fire Training (SFT) User Portal is a comprehensive system that serves as a central training and certification repository for all participants in the California Fire Service Training and Education System (CFSTES) or the Fire Service Training and Education Program (FSTEP).

Retreiving or Obtaining an SFT ID

If you have previously taken an SFT class and have an email on file with us, please use the "retrieve your existing SFT ID" function located on the right side of this page.

If you know you have a SFT ID but do not have a valid email on file to retrieve your ID, please email SFTHelpDesk@fire.ca.gov for assistance. Your email should include a full name and contact info such as address, phone number, and date of birth so that SFT staff can verify the correct record. Any other information can help refine the data search such as previous addresses, previous last names, certifications, and courses you may have attended. Do not submit your full SSN#.

If you have never taken an SFT course and need to obtain an SFT ID# in order to enroll in a course, please submit the SFT ID Request Form, located on the WebForms page. SFT Staff will review submissions and issue your new ID# within 2 business days.
