Question about FFI Certification Challenge?

[x635 4,066]

I have a question about FFI certification

If I have (the former) Essentials, Intial Attack I, and Ladder Company Operations, can I challenge the exam for FFI without having to go through the course???

Is there a practical skills component as well a written?
