I took this course before I did my test. GAME CHANGER. Thanks so much I was beyond prepared for my test and now I'm heading to the Academy next month. I'll stop in before I go. Thanks again NJHIIT
Aidan McWhirter yeah the CPAT isn't very hard, but just because you can pass the CPAT doesn't mean you can be a firefighter, you still have to go through the 3 month fire academy where they will work you just like in the military, and the CPAT isn't comparable to what you will actually be doing once you are on the job, actually fighting a fire in the extreme heat, wearing full gear which ways more than that 50lb vest, more like 70,80 lbs, the actual hose lines used to fight a fire weight 4x what this little piece of hose weighs, people forget that this is a small piece of dry hose, when you have a 200 or 300ft line charged, that's hundreds of gallons of water you are pulling around, not to mention the pressure of the nozzle pushing you back. If you are preparing to be a firefighter, I highly suggest that you don't train to pass the CPAT, train to do the job. Also, (I just got to the dummy drag), I hate that they always use like 150, 160, 170lb dummies, the average man is heavier than that, they should at least use a 200lb dummy, in a big believer in training for worst case scenario, play it safe and use a 250lb dummy.
It's the 2016 course as well. Coach Jose from NJ HIIT is also a career firefighter in New Jersey and was part of the protocol testing for the NJ civil service physical exam in 2015. 👍🏼
Kudos for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for firefighter interview tips without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin after many years got excellent success with it.

hey I have a question I take mine on the 16 of nov. they said to pass u need to complete this in 3 mins ....its that possible
Hi Malik, this is a Pass/Fail test. You need to finish in under 5 minutes (300 seconds) to pass the test.
Iv been practicing at the course they have in Camden nj ...my best time was 3 mins in 10 seconds
LOL! Things sure have changed from the old days. This is beyond an easy frosty cake walk.
Let's put Louie through the Chabot Hayward, Ca. Fire academy 10 part tower agility test. The toughest test in the USA!
Thank you for your response Dwight. However, This is the practice for the current New Jersey test.
lol im in that program next semester ran through the tower for practice two semesters ago.... it was very humbling.
