TESTIMONIALS

I meet with Ron not too long ago, and I can’t justify how much I respect and appreciate this man. Nothing can justify the amount of time and effort he has poured into this program. I am beyond grateful to know this hidden gem of a gent. Thanks brother for the words of wisdom and knowledge. -Bobby Child

So glad I decided to meet up with Ron! He knows more about the hiring process than anyone I've ever met and he does an outstanding job of explaining it in a way that makes sense. Could not recommend his service more! -Ryan Quarnstrom

I attended Ron's workshop last year and I'm telling you its worth every penny. The questions I had, he answered. I finally knew what I had to say.  I'm happy to say that I got the career I've always wanted. I'm on probation right now and it is a ton of work. Thanks again for everything. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

I’m really glad I decided to meet with Ron for my interview test prep. Although I was a bit nervous at first (not knowing what to expect), Ron was able to articulate the information in a way that wasn’t overwhelming. The fact that he’s personable and has a sense of humor made the prep interview all the more worthwhile. From basic questions that fire personnel may ask to how to systematically prepare for the interview, Ron covered all steps in the process.
Furthermore, the meeting allowed me to see where I was truly at. Ron gave me a lot of positive feedback but most importantly, it was honest feedback. I could tell how passionate he was about the material he was presenting. I felt proud that he took the time to give me some advice and walk me through the process. I have a lot of work to do to be successful but Ron’s test prep is one that I would recommend to anybody serious about a career in the fire service. He is passionate about educating the candidate on what to expect, gives honest feedback, and emphasizes the importance of practice! Thanks again, Ron! -Jerron Smith

If you truly want a job as a first responder separation is in the preparation. 1-11 fire prep will set you apart from the numerous other applicants and ensure you get that dream job you have always wanted! -Kevin Brown

Ron is an absolute expert in the interview. He understands the process and what it really takes better than anyone I have ever met. He will also go above and beyond the call of duty for you. He truly wants you to succeed and will do whatever it takes to get you there.

                                             -James Smith

Ron is one of a kind guy to help you down the long road to becoming a firefighter. He has helped me realize the dedication and commitment I have to put forth for my ultimate goal. And how much he puts into to help others.

                                           -Devon Moss

I WAS HIRED BY MY DREAM DEPARTMENT! As I said, I believe in what you are doing for people like me, and I would recommend you 1000% to anyone!

                                           -Tyler Savage

Great class that you put on today! You provided a lot of great information that I believe will help me in the near future, and I for sure plan on using the one on one to help fine tune my interview skills! Thanks again for your time today! -Kyle Compton

I would highly recommend 1-11 Fire Prep to anyone interested in a career in the fire service. Ron has tons of insightful information on all different aspects of the hiring process. Going into my Oral Board Interview I felt much more prepared than I had in the past and I can attribute that all to 1-11 Fire Prep!

                                          -Connor Davis

I met with Ron for a one on one prep, and although I would love to be selfish and keep 1-11 Fire Prep a secret, his knowledge and helpfulness is too good a resource to be hidden. There’s no doubt it will be the most beneficial, informative coffee meet up you’ll have. Looking forward to attending a workshop!

                                   -Jacqueline Amadee

Ron opened my eyes up to so much about the hiring process, whether its fire service-related or not, everything he says can be put towards any job you're pursuing. what may seem like a short amount of time, you get way more out of this than you would ever expect. Ron is a great resource to utilize and definitely worth your time if your serious about the process.

Ron is great. No only is he a great motivator, but he's a no nonsense teacher as well.

You can't go wrong with him.  -Chau Nyguen

Attended the interview prep work class. Best decision I could've made. The advice was solid, well laid out, and clear. He gave examples of interview questions and scenarios, and had us practice how we would answer. He's a very motivated, kind, and professional person. I am glad I went to the class because now I know what amazing advice and help will be coming my way when I pay for private sessions. You can tell Ron is very passionate about his job and helping others. I seriously recommend hiring Ron if you are looking to get into a fire career. -Emily Niederstadt

Best career in the world. Thank you so much for your help and insight. -Jake Olsen

I signed up for a one on one meet with Ron and he is a treasure trove of information on the whole testing process. Immediately after meeting Ron I saw how approachable and easy he is to talk to and just truly how caring he is about helping me achieve my career as a firefighter. He laid it all out for me how to approach my preparation leading up to the tests and the best possible way to prepare for the oral board interview. I cannot highly recommend Ron enough. -Tommy Lussier

                                          -  Brennon Kosoff

After meeting with Ron once, I was finally able to step into my Oral Board knowing exactly what I wanted to say and how I was going to say it. He helped me organize my thoughts and made some small tweaks to my answers that made all the difference in how I was perceived by the panel. If you’re looking to take your Oral Board scores to the next level Ron is your guy!

                                        -Spencer Byfield

There are countless great things I can say about Ron and what he is doing with his 1-11 Fire Prep company. I have known Ron since 2013 and he is one of the warmest, funniest and professional individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing.

I attended one of Ron's workshops in May 2018 at PCFD13 and absorbed everything he told us that day in preparations for 2 big FD tests coming up. I am now writing this today with a job offer from one of those departments. If you're serious about making a career in the fire service you need to listen to this man!

Thank you Ron for what you are doing and the knowledge you passed to me and all the others that have taken your workshops and have sat down with you. You're doing a great thing and I am sure I am not the only one who truly appreciates your work. 

                                                -Aaron Beckwith

Talk about dedication.  Mr Herrera goes the extra mile.  He really breaks things a part and leads by example. Reasonable, affordable and checks up on you.  I have no idea how he does it.  Thanks again for everything. -Jeff Polo

Hey man.  I subscribed to your service back when it first started.  You do some great work and your input has been invaluable.  I received a CONDITIONAL OFFER!.  I wanted to say thank you for the good work you do.  Means a lot.  Thank you. -Nick Boone

I’m so thankful that I was able to work with Ron. I had made it to interviews before but never made past the first round. I went to a workshop and learned so much in one day, but wanted more. So I met with him one on one. Best thing I could’ve done to better my chances on getting hired. If you are serious about becoming a career firefighter, then you need to go through 1-11 Fire Prep. You won’t regret it. He will be there to help every step of the way.

                                                      -Bill Jividan

If you’re serious about becoming a professional firefighter I advise you to meet up with Ron and go to 1-11’s website! He knows first hand what failure is and how to overcome it! 1-11 fire prep will guide you and definitely set you up for success before going to an oral board. I highly recommend! I owe part of my success to Ron and his guidance for passing my oral board! Thank you sir.

                                                -Roberto Cruz

I heard about 1-11 Fire Prep through a buddy of mine who met up with Ron.  He had all positive things to say about the program and the prep.  I met up with him, and right away, I felt this was the move I needed to do for me to land the career of my dreams.  He is 100% real and wants you to be successful.  After our meet up, I got a call from Fayettville Fire, Arkansas.  I did everything he told me to do, and I'm happy to say that I received an offer on my first try.  Luck? Maybe, but I honestly believe that if I've never met up with him, I would have never gotten the call.  Thank you for everything, man.  I appreciate it.

                                                  -Ethan Sharp

I signed up with 1-11 test prep after referral from a close friend. Meeting with Ron and hearing what he had to say really opened my eyes and made me think about the interview questions completely different than I had in the past. Ron gave me tips and tricks to really think about the questions and ultimately provide a better answer. The things we spoke about and time I spent with Ron was such a great experience. He definitely knows what he is talking about and has figured out the science behind interview preparations. No doubt I will be utilizing Ron in the future and I HIGHLY recommend 1-11 test prep. Thank you Ron!

                                                      -Greg William

"Hey, Ron... This is Carson Roberts. Not sure if you remember helping me with Kennewick's interview a few months ago, but I was just thinking about that and I wanted to let you know I got on with Boise Fire in July. I'm 3 weeks into the academy now and loving it. Thanks for the help!"

                                                -Carson Roberts

Ron- Thank you again for the feedback. 

It helps TREMENDOUSLY with your follow up review, and the minor tweaks that you provide, to get that extra icing on the answers.

Honestly, I feel 8.5-9 out of 10 ready for those interviews that have been delayed due to COVID. 

Since I’m not working for another few months, I want to continue to submit videos for a little while longer, so I can get to that 10/10 confidence.

                                                  -Tyler Norton

I was offered a full-time position with Hanford Fire Dept! thanks for the advice and info!

I went through fire interviews for a year and nothing was working, I was looking for that edge. Meeting with Ron and subscribing to his services was truly life-changing and flipped my approach to those interviews 180 degrees. He opened my eyes to so much useful information. I would recommend his services to anyone who wants that extra boost to get over the hump in the hiring process. Ron will take you there if your willing to put in the work.

                                           -DJ Winter

After years of years of testing, I was finally selected for the Seattle Academy this 2019.  I want to thank you so much for your input and help.  Your prep paid off. 

                                              -Tommy Clarke

RON IS THE MAN! He paints the picture very clear on what is expected to be successful. Then provides you with the tools to achieve success! Then it’s all up to how bad you want it! I can say, Ron shaved years off of the interview process. Thanks Ron, keep doing what you do best!

                                               -Justin Jones

I highly recommend signing up and doing a 1:1 with Ron! Beneficial, enthusiastic, informative, and setting up every fire candidate like myself up for success for interviews.
