Community Participation
To participate in the CWW Firefighter Testing program, please call the
Schoolcraft Assessment Center (734) 462-4806 or fax (734) 462-4808
Communities that wish to implement this program need to identify the CWW
Firefighter Testing Program as a minimum requirement for all firefighter
candidates within their community by taking appropriate administrative
action, including the revision of all appropriate job descriptions to
reflect the CWW Firefighter Testing Program requirement.
Program Benefits for
Your Community
The CWW Firefighter Testing program will provide communities with a
pre-qualified pool of firefighter candidates who have already met basic
standards, each municipality will then apply their own additional
requirements. Participating communities will realize cost benefits, as
the cost of initial firefighter testing will be transferred from the
community to the firefighter candidate.
The CWW recently completed new test components for both the written and
physical ability portions of the test with Schoolcraft College. In
August 2007, Schoolcraft introduced the International Firefighters
Associations Candidates Physical Ability Test (CPAT) and I/O
Solutions National Firefighters Inventory for the written test..
Through the CWW Firefighter Testing Program Schoolcraft College will
provide all necessary test equipment, materials and personnel to administer,
score and maintain test records. The physical
ability tests
are done on a pass/fail basis and are valid for 1 year. The written
tests are scored in test bands and are valid for 3 years.
