NFPA1001 Fire Knowledge (credential screen)

Credential-based screening — no separate entry aptitude test recorded

Format
Saskatoon screens on certification rather than an entry aptitude exam. Applicants must already hold IFSAC/ProBoard NFPA 1001 Firefighter I and II, NFPA 1002 Apparatus Driver/Operator, NFPA 472 or 1072 Hazmat, and be a practicing unrestricted Primary Care Paramedic on the Saskatchewan College of Paramedics roster
Administered by
Saskatoon Fire Department

Prep priority

The written hurdle is the NFPA 1001 certification exam you sit at fire college, not a recruitment aptitude test. ITLS Basic is also required

Source: Compiled from the City of Saskatoon Firefighter-Paramedic Recruitment Roadmap and recent postings. No entry aptitude test is named in those sources — confirm against the current posting.

How far in advance should I start preparing?
