This is a structured testing process designed to evaluate whether candidates possess the minimum level of fitness to enter training for the demanding occupation of Firefighter. Candidates must successfully complete the CPAT to progress in the Firefighter testing process. The CPAT certificate that you obtain is accepted for a one-year period. In preparation for future exams, and as Metro Fire will no longer be administering a CPAT Exam, candidates will be required to submit a valid CPAT certificate at the time of application. There are many agencies that administer the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) and issue CPAT certification. One of those agencies, California Fire Fighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee, has testing locations in both Northern and Southern California. For more information, please contact them directly at: www.cpatonline.org Toll Free Number: (877) 648-2728 Note: You MUST provide a copy of your CPAT certificate not more than 12 months old with your application.
