CPAT question

[jamesbutler]

Hi there-
Happened to glance at Colorado Springs' fire dept hiring info the other day, and they gave a list of depts offering the CPAT around the country. Just curious if there is actually a way to take *one* CPAT and have scores sent to different depts you might be applying for. It would save a lot of travel expenses for those folks who are applying around the country at different departments.

If you take the CPAT from a "certified" CPAT test site, then you get a certificate that is accepted everywhere, in theory. However, there are a few departments that don't care and they want you to take their CPAT no matter what. Funny thing is that Phoenix, the dept. behind the CPAT, won't take a certified CPAT from anywhere else. You have to present the certificate yourself.
