Firefighters are eligible to write a Firefighter Curriculum Component test when they meet the following requirements:
The written tests for Component One, Component Two, and Component Three
are comprised of multiple-choice and true/false questions, and are
computer-scored. The first test has 150 questions; the second test has 120
questions; the third test has 120 questions. Test takers are given two and a
half hours to complete the first test, and two hours each to complete the
second and third tests.
Test questions cover information from the curriculum and reference books
listed, including 4th Edition of IFSTAs Essentials of Firefighting
http://www.ifsta.org/.
Component One must be taken first. Components Two and Three may be taken
in any order, providing test takers are qualified.
Test takers receive confidential letters at their fire department
approximately eight weeks after the test date. A pass or satisfactory
status is based on 70% or greater and there are provisions for re-writing
the test if needed. Exact number and/or letter grades are not used. Test
takers are responsible for informing appropriate people in their department
of test results.
Test takers who have satisfactory test results for Component One will
receive personalized Certificates of Achievement with one gold seal.
Firefighters who have satisfactory test results for Components Two and Three
will receive gold seals in their confidential test results letters.
Students enrolled in Pre-Service Firefighter Education and Training
Programs are eligible for testing after completing all graduation
requirements. We encourage you to attend the testing session organized by
your college. When that is not possible, you may contact our office so we
can schedule you for an alternate time and place.
The written tests for the Pre-Service Firefighter Program are very similar
to the Component tests but are administered as Test A and Test B.
For more information related to curriculum testing please contact the OFM Testing Unit at 416-325-3182 or 416-325-3140. Well explain the process and send you information.
