Does this mean that the actual CPAT is coming real close after that????
Aren't we entitled to some 12 week prep session or sumthin????

No one should depend on the prep sessions at the Rock. Everyone should be training on their own and when the CPAT exam date comes up, you'll be able to pass it.Quote:

Very poor wording...
But what i did mean is that I had gotten the perception that it was standard to have the 12 weeks of prep before the cpat.....
Not that one should rely on just those 12 preps....but was just curious as to what the normal pre-cpat procedure was....
I guess as long as one has been running hard and hitting the step mill, they will most likely be ok for the cpat...
provided that they do run out of budget and don't offer the prep classes anymore. can anyone go to the CPAT prep classes when they offer them now or is it for designated list numbers? That would seem unfair to provide an aid to some people but not have it available to others based on list number.
No you can only go down after you get a waiver signed and you need a card to get in...just because they say its a 12 week program doesnt mean you have 3 months to get ready..it was about 6 weeks from the time i went to the orientation to the time of my fist date for my physical.Quote:

i read a post that the prep classes were only available for the first 4000. i dont know how true that is it seems a bit off but what do i knowQuote:

Does the FDNY put a class in every Jan and July like NYPD? How big are the classes? My list number was 3,3xx, anyone have an idea how long before I get a package for the background? How long has the process been between getting the background packet up until the physical?
anyone else going to the info session? and/or the prep courses?

I know right?? I set this website as my homepage so that everytime I turn on my computer, I get updated with this forum's threads automatically. If anyone just coming on to this forum needs any info, it's strongly advised to do a search first, then skim through the posts before you ask a question that's already been answered several times.Quote:

So my investigator called me two days ago and asked me for two current proofs of residency and a recent paystub. Is there a reason why they keep asking for this? This will be the thrird time I turn in that information.
The first time was back in February, the seconod time was in July (which she confirmed to having received it), now two moinths later, she is asking for it again.. I just thought it was a little odd. Oh well, it is what it is.
That would be one helluva copy and paste project using the "quote" button.Quote:
