To become a police officer in Alberta you need to take two exams. The Alberta Communication Test (ACT) and the Alberta Police Cognitive Ability Test (APCAT).

The APCAT test measures abilities need to successfully complete police recruit training and to perform effectively as a police officer in the province of Alberta.

The portions of the ACT that you must take are designed to assess your ability to communicate in writing in English. In particular, the test focuses on vocabulary, spelling, and English grammar. The test is comprised of 134 multiple-choice questions. It will take approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes to complete (including instructions and breaks). The ACT includes questions that measure three different areas: vocabulary; spelling skills; and English grammar.
