TRAIN WITH A FIREFIGHTER RECRUITMENT COACH
Personal guidance through every stage of a Canadian fire service hiring process — physical preparation, written and aptitude testing, and the interview panel. One plan, one focus, one test date.
Limited spots each intake — applications are reviewed individually.
About the coach
FROM THE FIRE HALL, NOT A TEXTBOOK
I am a serving career firefighter who came through the same recruitment stages you are facing now — written testing, aptitude and psychometric screening, a timed physical evaluation and a panel interview. I failed a stage before I passed one, and that is exactly why the coaching is built around diagnosis rather than motivation.
Since then I have helped candidates across several provinces prepare for department-specific processes. The work is unglamorous: measure where you are, fix the limiting factor, retest, repeat until the standard is comfortable rather than borderline.
What I will not do is promise a job or claim inside access to any hiring list. What I can do is make sure nothing on test day is the first time you have seen it.
Background
WHAT I BRING TO YOUR PREPARATION
Serving career firefighter
Years on shift in a busy urban hall, with live recruitment experience on both sides of the process.
CPAT-focused conditioning
Programming built around stair climb, drags, carries and grip endurance rather than generic gym work.
Hiring panel insight
Familiar with what selection boards score, and where strong candidates lose easy marks.
Individual plans
No template programs. Every plan starts from your benchmarks, your test date and your department.
Who it is for
COACHING FITS THESE CANDIDATES
First-time applicants
You have never gone through a fire service hiring process and want a clear order of operations instead of scattered advice.
Re-applicants
You were cut at the written, physical or interview stage and need an honest diagnosis before the next window opens.
Career changers
You are working full time and need a realistic weekly structure that survives shift work and family.
Close to test day
You have a date booked and need a focused peaking block, technique review and interview rehearsal.
How it works
A COACHING CYCLE, STEP BY STEP
Assessment
Intake questionnaire, benchmark week and a review of your target department's stages and standards.
Written plan
A weekly plan covering conditioning, strength, test practice and study blocks — with clear priorities.
Weekly check-ins
You report your numbers, I adjust load, volume and focus. Video review for technique on carries and drags.
Test-day peaking
Simulation runs, taper, interview rehearsal with STAR answers and a plan for the day itself.

READY TO START YOUR PREPARATION?
Begin with the readiness assessment. It takes a few minutes, gives you a baseline score, and it is the first thing I look at when reviewing a coaching application.
FAQ
COACHING QUESTIONS
Who is the coaching for?
Candidates preparing for a Canadian fire service hiring process — from first-time applicants to people re-applying after a failed stage. You do not need to be an athlete to start.
How does a coaching cycle work?
It starts with an assessment call and a benchmark week. From there you get a written plan, weekly check-ins and adjustments based on the numbers you report back.
Is coaching remote?
Yes. Everything runs remotely through written plans, video review of your technique and scheduled check-in calls, so it works from any province.
Do I still need the platform?
Coaching runs on top of the platform. Your practice tests, fitness benchmarks and readiness score are the data the plan is built from.
