Firefighter Testing Process

Becoming a firefighter can be a long and intensive process. Learning everything there is to know about the recruitment process will help you succeed on your way toward becoming a firefighter. One of the first steps of the firefighter recruitment process is taking an exam. This exam is usually comprised of two parts: a written exam and a physical exam. The firefighter aptitude exam tests basic abilities, such as reading comprehension, math, grammar, and spelling. It also has components that relate to the job, such as memory and spatial orientation. Learn more about the firefighter written test.

Firefighter Civil Service Exam vs. Written Exam

Firefighters that fall under the civil servant category are employed by a municipality, state, or federal government department. Some may be employed by private firms or non-governmental agencies, but most positions are part of the firefighter civil service, requiring potential candidates to take and pass the civil service firefighter exam. Prepare with our firefighter civil service exam practice test.
