Fire Brigade Recruitment – Aptitude Testing

During Fire Brigade Recruitment you will be required to undergo some testing to prove you mental ability to problem solve using various parts of the brain.

In Australia this is most commonly known as aptitude testing but can also come under the umbrella term of cognitive testing.

It is very important in the first instance that you don’t just brush this part of the process off.

Many applicants come unstuck at this very early stage of fire brigade recruitment for this very reason. Don’t underestimate the aptitude test.

When someone asks “how hard is it to become a firefighter” the aptitude test is the first thing and usually the hardest test for more than half of applicants.
