CALCULATE YOU TOTAL YEARS OF FULL TIME SERVICE
CLEET BASIC ACADEMY POINTS: worth 15 points
CLEET HOURS POINTS: this is your total number of training hours from your CLEET Training Profile MINUS your basic
certification (NOTE: If you have reserve academy hours you must subtract those as well since reserve does not count
towards Certification Level) and divided by 20.
IN SERVICE HOURS POINTS: this is training (not on your CLEET profile) that you can show proof of. If claiming In-
Service Hours you will need to provide a copy of the certificate. The certificate must show the date and the number of
hours. (REMEMBER….THESE CAN NOT APPEAR AS TRAINING ON YOUR CLEET PROFILE ALREADY). These hours
are added together and divided by 20.
FTO POINTS: (2 pts): This refers to a 400+ hour course. If it is not listed on your CLEET profile, we will need a letter on
department letterhead, signed off on by the agency head or agency designee. The letter will need to state the dates of the
course (from mm/dd/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy) and the total number of hours for the course.
FORMAL EDUCATION POINTS: official college transcript is required (copy of official transcript is acceptable) if claiming
college hours. College (if Semester College Hours) are 1 for 1….if Quarter College Hours 1=2/3.
