PRE-TEST PREPARATION PROGRAM
The International standards of the Candidate Physical Ability Test pre-test program requires that Oxnard College CPAT ensure that all
candidates have the opportunity to attend at least two (2) orientation sessions within 8 weeks of taking the CPAT. Additionally, the
pre-test program offers each candidate the opportunity to perform two (2) timed practice runs within 30 days prior to the CPAT. When
scheduled early, each test has ample time for the pre-test program.
Orientations included when you pay for your test
• All candidates have the opportunity to attend at least two (2) orientation sessions within the 8 weeks of taking the CPAT.
• During the orientation, you will receive an overview and the opportunity to attempt each of the eight (8) events and determine
where you may need strengthening.
• You will be given a set of exercises to help physically prepare for the CPAT.
If you elect not to participate in the available orientation sessions, you will be required to sign a waiver acknowledging
that the orientation was offered
.
Pre-tests (Practice Sessions) - $25 per session
• All candidates are offered the opportunity to practice the CPAT events at least twice before taking the CPAT. Practice sessions
include:
Timed practice runs to evaluate your level of preparedness.
Supervised practice on the CPAT course with a proctor designed to meet your needs.
Techniques, evaluation and conditioning advice from our CPAT proctors
TEST
• You will be notified by email of the confirmation of your orientation, practice and test schedule.
• Please report 30 minutes before your scheduled event.
Miscellaneous:
Certificates of completion will be issued to each successful candidate by C-JAC. There is no established time for how long the
certification is valid. Contact the Department(s) you are interested in to identify their certification requirements. Nationwide the cut off
dates range from 120 days up to one year.
An Orientation/Test preparation Guide will be given to each candidate at the orientation. If you do not attend the orientation, the Guide
is available at the CPAT office. Attending the orientation and using the guide may improve your chances of being successful on the test.
Dress code is strictly enforced. Per CPAT regulations, the dress code consists of long pants, footwear with no open heel or toe,
and no loose or restrictive jewelry. Candidates must be in proper CPAT attire immediately before testing; lack of proper dress
code results in an automatic “FAIL” from the candidate’s assigned Lead Proctor.
ATTENTION CPAT CANDIDATES
In order to issue you a CPAT card you must create a profile at the Firefighter
Candidate Testing Center Web site: www.FCTConline.org
You must do this before the test (when you apply), so you will be in the system
by the test date.
After entering the information you must go to your email account and complete
the registration.
Because you are testing at the Oxnard College Fire Academy location you do NOT
select a test date or location.
NOTE: If your profile is not completed and in the system before the test we will NOT be
able to issue you a CPAT card. SO DO IT NOW!!!
Call if you have any questions,
