Information and practice days
The first step in the recruitment process is attending an Information & Practice Day. Although not compulsory, it is highly recommended if you are seriously considering becoming a Career Firefighter. The day will cover:
- What a modern firefighter does
- A breakdown of the recruitment process
- What the recruit’s course entails
- Equipment used
- Opportunity to practice the Physical Pre-entry Test (PPT)
We run Practice and Information sessions prior to the next round opening, this gives you enough time to prepare physically for all the aspects of the testing.
