Locations Giving The Candidate Physical Ability Test

The CPAT Exam will come in packages in order to enhance the opportunity for passing the Candidate Phyiscal Abilty Test. There will be two orientations and practice sessions made available for you on (dates and times) prior to your scheduled test date. While it is not mandatory that you attend any of these sessions it is highly encouraged. Studies have shown that those individuals that attended an orientation and practice session had a much greater chance of successfully passing the exam. If a candidate waives these sessions then they will be required to sign a waiver form prior to being allowed to take the exam.

All sessions will begin at 0800. In the event of inclement weather the start time could be delayed, if so you will be contacted or rescheduled.
