Thanks Peter, I do know you were one of my instructors for a course. I think I may attend next weekend pending on the FDR rating (not looking to flash at the moment) and Most likely try next year as my fitness is not the best at the moment.

Gday 6arevesdropper,

Did you get to do the physical?

I've found the whole process pretty demanding and have spent most of my free time researching and training, going to all the info sesions ect, also went to a stn a few times and spoke to the guys and did a few drills before the physical testing.

Prior to the aptitude testing i did hundreds of practice tests regarding mechanical, spatial stuff etc- i think this paid off.

Also, once at the interview they were very specific about addressing the selection criteria listed in the application package.

My main advice would be, be yourself and if you get to the physical testing next time ensure you are really fit- not just strong, but aerobically fit. about 40% of all applicants failed the physical!

Good luck next time

I have heard that the school may not start then due to a problem getting instructors to go to the training centre...........

Look on the FESA website. Under job vacancies, then firefighter recruitment.
