CFA Online Acadis Course Registration

Creating an Account is the first step to be sure you can register for a class or test, also to keep track of your completed training, and very soon all your past Certifications will be available as part of your record.

Registering is obviously important for anyone who is taking a class and ANY Certification test (practical or written) requires a student to register as well. 

This will be the only way to sign up and register for classes!
 To create an account, please follow the directions below:
Note: The Acadis portal is best used in CHROME. Using Microsoft Edge requires the browser to be fully updated. If using a web-filtering product you must add ACADIS to your products safe list

 

• Turn off the pop-up blocker
• Click on WebForms on the right hand side of the page.
• Click on Request a CFA User Portal Account.
• Fill out the form, then click Submit in the lower right corner of the page.
• You will receive an email indicating that your submission has been received;
  please allow two business days while our staff reviews and processes your request.
 *Note: You can not register for a class until your User Portal Account has been approved!
• Watch for another email with the link you will need to access your new Acadis Portal account.
• Once you receive your account you will be able to register for classes or exams.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE – If you experience any issues along the way, please email:   cfa-support@ct.gov

Remember that some courses fill up quickly, especially Fire Service Instructor and Fire officer courses, so sign up soon to reserve your spot.  Plan your training for the upcoming year!
