Fire Training Center: CPAT Testing
EOC Technology Center has agreed to host a consortium of OKC metro area fire departments that are teaming up to offer a fire fighter written exam. Following the written exam, EOC Technology will host candidate physical agility testing (CPAT). Following the completion of these two tests, each department will have the opportunity to interview candidates to fill open fire fighter positions.
Why do this?
This process will help lessen the load, both in time an financially, from metro fire departments as they go through the hiring process!!!!
What is the cost to fire departments for taking part in this process?
- Virtually nothing ($0) other than some manpower to help host both the written test and the CPAT!!!!!
- This process will save metro fire departments time and budget and make the hiring process much easier. We welcome all metro departments to join the consortium and take advantage of this process.
- Contact Alan Sanders for more information
Note: Not all departments have openings during any given testing cycle. This will vary for each department and their internal hiring needs at a particular time.
How does this process work?
- Attend orientation session. We will allow you to come by between February 13 and March 3 and pick up materials if you were unable to attend the orientation. Pay $30 testing fee. Receive study guide and written testing date.
- Bring study guide and photo ID to written test. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE WRITTEN TEST IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID THE $30 TESTING FEE. FURTHERMORE, YOU MUST BRING YOUR STUDY GUIDE AND PHOTO ID WITH YOU TO TAKE THE WRITTEN TEST. Take written test. If you pass (70%) the written test, you will be given a date and time to take the CPAT test.
- Take and pass the CPAT test.
- You will be contacted by departments who desire to visit with you concerning open positions to come in and fill out an application as their needs arise.
