    When I went to the academy in my area the overwhelming majority of cadets sponsored themselves.
    There were maybe two guys sponsored by local agencies.
    It was a must back then to be certified through TCLEOSE.
    I don't believe your past usage will close all doors, as long as you've shown a responsible trend for the last several years, which you have. Leave that whacky weed alone.
    Good luck.

    Just to clear things up: self sponsored = paying to go to the academy? And sponsored by local agencies = you're already hired and now you're getting paid to attend the academy?
    I'm sort of confused with the self/agency sponsored thing.

    And thank you!

    Correct. Self sponsored is where you pay yourself to be enrolled, then look to get hired by an agency once you've graduated. Agency sponsored is where you're already hired by an agency and they send you to an academy (or have you go through their own if it's an in-house academy).

    You can also apply as an academy attendee. You can start the hiring process before you finish and when you graduate you can already be thorough half of the hiring process and be that much closer to starting the job.
