Most of the vacancies are for officer positions, where they are classified as Aspirant, 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Lieutenant Colonel.
Entry is through Officer Training Course (CFO). The competitions for this position are more competitive and last approximately 2 years. The CFO differs from the CFSD mainly because it requires a bachelor's degree in Law.
Another important position is that of enlisted personnel, where the ranks are as private, corporal, sergeant and sub-lieutenant. After passing the course, the student soldier will begin the course that lasts between 8 and 10 months. The graduation to military firefighter soldier, the first rank of the enlisted career, comes after completion of the CFSD.
