Firefighter Recruitment Aptitude Test

To succeed in the demanding fire-rescue environment, firefighters must have specific skills. The aptitude test content areas are:

Reading and understanding written information
Numerical skills
Maps, diagrams, and mechanical reasoning
Teamwork, public relations, and community living

Applicants will be advised of the date and time of the aptitude test. It is a 2-hour, multiple choice, computer-scored test. A fire rescue service testing company analyzes the overall results to determine scoring.

Non-refundable money order for $50 testing fee, payable to the City of Edmonton (cheque or cash will not be accepted), will be required at the Aptitude Test.

There will be no re-writes. A grouping of the highest-ranked applicants who passed the test will advance to the next stage of the recruitment process.

Note: The firefighter recruitment process is subject to change.
