I would not be surprised if a lot of people did not have theirs in time for the interview because they are not offered regularly.

My status online still indicates "evaluating minimum qualifications". Is anyone else still waiting to receive a test date?

[WFD26]

The status of my application also states Evaluating Minimum Qualifications.

Mine also says Evaluating Minimum Qualifications and I got my letter a few days ago. Anybody heard how many they are expecting to take the exam that weekend?

Did you receive the letter in the mail?

Yes I did get it in the mail.

I received my letter on Saturday to test on March 3rd. I live in CA, so I don't know if that has anything to do with the timing, but I wouldn't worry to much about the online status. Seems like everyone has "Evaluating Minimum Qualifications" still. Mine does at least!

Yeah I live on the East Coast so in reality it will take some time to be received; but should expect it in a few days.

Do we need to have the CPAT certification with us for the written exam, or is it just that we need it to schedule an interview? I am an out-of-stater still trying to figure out where I can take the CPAT.

Thank you Mr. G

Contacted my friend, they do not have a pay to play CPAT where he is, you must be in that department's process.

I'm pretty sure they will accept a CPAT card from Connecticut. The deadline to apply is March 7th. The only problem is that there are no dates posted so it might be cutting it close when it comes down to interviews.

These are the agencies they will accept a CPAT card fromand I found this info on the joinlafd facebook page

If you have a current IAFF/IAFC CPAT certificate from a licensed testing center, you are all set. Where you obtained it is not an issue. If your certificate doesn't indicate a license #, you may not have completed an officially sanctioned CPAT test. The second link posted by Lemon lists all the agencies able to issue official CPAT cards.
