This event is designed to simulate the critical tasks of placing a ground ladder at a fire structure and extending the ladder to the roof or window. This event challenges your aerobic capacity, upper body muscular strength, lower body muscular strength, balance, grip strength, and anaerobic endurance.
This event affects your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems as well as the following muscle groups: biceps, deltoids, upper back, trapezius, muscles of the forearm and hand grip , glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. For this event, you must walk to the top rung of the foot 7. This must be done in a hand over hand fashion, using each rung until the ladder is stationary against the wall.
You must not use the ladder rails to raise the ladder. Immediately proceed to the prepositioned and secured foot 7. Then, lower the fly section hand over hand in a controlled fashion to the starting position. If you miss any rung during the raise, one warning is given. If you allow the ladder to fall to the ground or the safety lanyard is activated because you released your grip on the ladder, the test time is concluded and you fail the test. If during the ladder extension, your feet do not remain within marked boundary lines, one warning is given.
If you do not maintain control of the ladder in a hand over hand manner, or let the rope halyard slip in an uncontrolled manner, your test time is concluded and you fail the test. This event uses a mechanized device located 39 inches 1 m off the ground that measures cumulative force from a pound 4.
This event is designed to simulate the critical tasks of using force to open a locked door or to breach a wall. This event challenges your aerobic capacity, upper body muscular strength and endurance, lower body muscular strength and endurance, balance, grip strength and endurance, and anaerobic endurance.
This event affects your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems as well as the following muscle groups: quadriceps, glutes, triceps, upper back, trapezius, and muscles of the forearm and hand grip. For this event, you must use a pound 4. During this event, you must keep your feet outside the toe-box at all times.
After the buzzer is activated, place the sledgehammer on the ground. If you do not maintain control of the sledgehammer and release it from both hands while swinging, it constitutes a failure, the test time is concluded and you fail the test. If you step inside the toe-box, one warning is given. This event is designed to simulate the critical task of searching for a fire victim with limited visibility in an unpredictable area.
This event challenges your aerobic capacity, upper body muscular strength and endurance, agility, balance, anaerobic endurance, and kinesthetic awareness. This event affects your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems as well as the following muscle groups: muscles of the chest, shoulder, triceps, quadriceps, abdominals, and lower back. For this event, you must crawl through a tunnel maze that is approximately 3 feet At a number of locations in the tunnel, you must navigate around, over, and under obstacles.
In addition, at two locations, you must crawl through a narrowed space where the dimensions of the tunnel are reduced. Your movement is monitored through the maze. If for any reason you choose to end the event, call out or rap sharply on the wall or ceiling and you will be assisted out of the maze. Upon exit from the maze, the event is concluded. This event is designed to simulate the critical task of removing a victim or injured partner from a fire scene.
This event challenges your aerobic capacity, upper and lower body muscular strength and endurance, grip strength and endurance, and anaerobic endurance. This event affects your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems as well as the following muscle groups: quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, abdominals, torso rotators, lower back stabilizers, trapezius, deltoids, latissimus dorsi, biceps, and muscles of the forearm and hand grip. For this event, you must grasp a pound You are not permitted to grasp or rest on the drum.
It is permissible for the mannequin to touch the drum. You are permitted to drop and release the mannequin and adjust your grip. The entire mannequin must be dragged until it crosses the marked finish line. If you grasp or rest on the drum at any time, one warning is given. This event uses a pike pole and a mechanized device that measures overhead push and pull.
The pike pole is a commonly used piece of equipment that consists of a six-foot long pole with a hook and point attached to one end. This event is designed to simulate the critical task of breaching and pulling down a ceiling to check for fire extension. This event affects your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems as well as the following muscle groups: quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, abdominals, torso rotators, lower back stabilizers, deltoids, trapezius, triceps, biceps, and muscles of the forearm and hand grip.
For this event, you must remove the pike pole from the bracket, stand within the boundary established by the equipment frame, and place the tip of the pole on the painted area of the hinged door in the ceiling. Fully push up the pound hinged door in the ceiling with the pike pole three times. Then, hook the pike pole to the pound ceiling device and pull the pole down five times. Each set consists of three pushes and five pulls.
Repeat the set four times. You are permitted to stop and, if needed, adjust your grip. Releasing your grip or allowing the pike pole handle to slip, without the pike pole falling to the ground, does not result in a warning or constitute a failure.
You are permitted to reestablish your grip and resume the event. If you do not successfully complete a repetition, the proctor calls out "MISS" and you must push or pull the apparatus again to complete the repetition. This event and the total test time ends when you complete the final pull stroke repetition as indicated by a proctor who calls out "TIME. One warning is given if you drop the pike pole to the ground. If you drop the pike pole, you must pick it up without proctor assistance and resume the event.
If your feet do not remain within the marked boundary lines, one warning is given. See Question 2 for a list of agencies that administer the test. During the CPAT, you must progress along a predetermined path from one event to the next in a continuous manner. Participants wear a pound An additional 25 pounds You have 10 minutes and 20seconds to complete all eight tasks.
It is your responsibility to schedule and pay for your own CPAT. Applicants must be 18 years of age and must show government issued photo identification i. Please contact the agencies directly to obtain further information and to schedule a test. Sessions are specific by availability.
The sessions are designed to meet each individuals needs. A session may include: Training on the CPAT equipment, watching the instructional video, going through the course in its entirety. You also receive the benefit of mentoring: Our CPAT Proctors will provide techniques, expert evaluation and conditioning advice. Rescheduling your test: Candidates may reschedule their test date up to two business days beforehand without penalty.
Candidates may cancel their test, but will forfeit their testing fees. No-shows : If you do not show up on your scheduled test day, your fee is forfeited. If you want to schedule another test day, you will have to pay the full fee again. During orientation, candidates will receive instruction on the test and the test events, and will have the opportunity to try out the CPAT testing equipment to better understand what will be required. Participation in one or more orientation sessions is strongly encouraged.
Candidates who take advantage of orientation consistently have a higher passage rate than those who do not. FCTC also provides a complete online Orientation Guide, with detailed information about the test events.
In addition to orientation, candidates have the option to sign up for at least two 2 timed practice runs prior to the test itself. Unlike orientation, practice tests are a full-scale simulation of the test.
