Full Prep Package

$1,049 $1,186 value · save $137

The course, plus three live mock interviews that build real reps under pressure.

You get the full Foundation Program, then you put it to work in three live, one-on-one mock interviews with Ryan. Each one is recorded so you can rewatch it, and each raises the pressure a little more, the same way the real process does. This is where it clicks for most candidates, and it is the one most people choose.

Your three mock interviews

  • Speed Dating Mock, 30 minutes: rapid-fire opening questions that test your Tell Me About Yourself, Why Firefighter, and Why This Department under time pressure.
  • Panel Mock, 45 minutes: a full panel simulation, the format most departments use, with direct coaching on both content and delivery.
  • Chief's Mock, 60 minutes: the final-round, higher-stakes conversation, so the real thing feels familiar.

Who it's for

The candidate who learns by doing and wants honest reps and real feedback before the board, not just theory. If you are serious about testing well, start here.

  • Everything in the Foundation Program
  • 3 live mocks, all recorded
  • Feedback you can use right away

The Hired Package

$1,499 $1,784 value · save $285

Everything in Full Prep, plus the exact stories a board actually scores.

You get the full course, all three mocks, and two private 60-minute Story Lab sessions with Ryan, where you build the answers and stories that separate the top scores from the rest. For most candidates, the stories are the difference, and this is the package that builds them one-on-one.

Your two Story Labs

  • Opening Story Lab, 60 minutes: after your Speed Dating mock, rebuild your three opening answers into specific, story-backed answers using your family, hobbies, and work threads.
  • Defining Moments Story Lab, 60 minutes: build two to three defining-moment stories (leadership, adversity, service, teamwork) in a repeatable structure you can use for any behavioral question, on the Panel, the Chief's, and the real board.

Who it's for

The candidate who wants the best possible shot and knows the stories are what win the highest scores. For about the price of one standalone session, you add two private one-on-ones.

Common questions

Are the mocks and Story Labs live?

Yes. Every mock interview and Story Lab is a live, one-on-one session with Ryan, and each one is recorded so you can go back and review it as many times as you want.

Can I start small and upgrade later?

Absolutely. Start with the Foundation Program or Full Prep, and you can add the next level any time. You only pay the difference to move up.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. At checkout you can split any package into payments with Afterpay or Klarna, so you can get started right away and pay over time.

Which one should I choose?

Most candidates choose Full Prep, because the live mocks are where the real gains happen. If you want the strongest possible shot, the Hired Package adds the two Story Labs that build the answers a board scores highest.
