BadgeBound Prep
Our Mission
Your badge is earned in the preparation. At BadgeBound Prep, our mission is simple: to ensure no qualified candidate loses their seat on the crew because of a nervous interview. We provide aspiring firefighters with the high-stakes, realistic practice they need to turn "good" answers into "hired" answers.
Why We Exist
The firefighter oral board is one of the most intimidating hurdles in the hiring process. Traditional coaching is often expensive, and generic AI tools don't understand the specific culture, values, and "Fire Captain" logic required to pass a fire department panel.
We built BadgeBound Prep to bridge that gap—giving candidates a 24/7 training ground that simulates the pressure of the board with the accuracy of real fire-service rubrics.
What We Do?
We combine advanced AI technology with the standards used by hiring boards across the country. Our platform offers:
- 24/7 practice sessions
- Realistic mock interviews
- Live 1-on-1 Coaching: Private coaching sessions focused on stronger story-building, concise delivery, and confident oral board performance.
- Department-Specific Training: Tailored question sets that reflect the unique cultures of agencies, starting in California and expanding nationwide.
- AI "Fire Captain" Feedback: Instant, rubric-based scoring on core competencies like leadership, integrity, judgment, and community presence.
- Resume Coaching: Instant analysis to ensure your background highlights the traits departments are actually looking for.
Our Core Philosophy
