What should I wear/not wear?

All candidates are required to wear long pants and footwear with no open heel or toe or high heels. Shorts are not allowed. Candidates who do not wear the proper pants and footwear will not be allowed to test that day. You are responsible to make sure your clothing fits properly and will stay in place during all the activities of this physically challenging test. Watches and loose or restrictive jewelry are not allowed and will need to be removed before testing. It is recommended that you do not bring these items to the testing site as we are not responsible for personal items.

What is the refund policy?    

The CPAT testing program is in large demand. Many of the scheduled CPAT dates are filled to their maximum capacity very quickly. A last minute cancellation of a candidate could result in a test opening that could have been filled with another candidate. Therefore, the following candidate refund and policy must be followed.

1. Students can receive a full refund if they contact NTC at firetraining@ntc.edu by 8:00 a.m. on the CPAT Test Out Date, or by 8:00 a.m. on the first date of the CPAT Session.
2. Emergency situations and weather-related issues on the day of testing will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
3. Test Failure is not a qualification for a refund.
4. Failing to show up for testing is not a qualification for a refund.

How can I obtain a replacement Candidate Physical Ability Test Certificate?

Requests for a replacement copy of the CPAT completion certificate can be made by contacting NTC at firetraining@ntc.edu and we will send an electronic copy via email.
