The Fire Inspector curriculum is designed to provide clear guidance that ensures adequate presentation of the information required to meet the Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1031, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner, 2014 Edition.

The Fire Inspector curriculum is chapter 4 of the Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) Curriculum Manual.

To qualify for the Fire Inspector certification, the Fire Inspector I and II curricula must be completed.

To qualify for the Plan Examiner I certification, only the Plan Examiner I curriculum must be completed.

If a student completed training under the Fire Inspector with Plan Examiner I curriculum (offered prior to March 1, 2019), the student is eligible for both the Fire Inspector and Plan Examiner I certification if all sections of the exam are passed. If the student passes only the Inspector I and II sections of the exam, the student is only eligible for the Fire Inspector certification.
