Miami Dade Fire Rescue 2018

I guess first CPAT WASN'T all veterans. A few certified, a few vets, most neither, but all scored lower. I dunno how this works, lol.

I passed my CPAT, uncertified, have EMT. Waiting on Val for psych.

For those unaware, Miami-Dade has an interim chief. They can't do anymore classes after the November one until the mayor okays a candidate. So, hopefully, all that have done CPAT are for the November class.

Ok, I met with backgrounds and was told my file was sent up for review so we'll see how it goes.

How long ago did you meet with backgrounds?

First CPAT was a veterans class. Just got my email for the next CPAT. Sucks, because I got pattelofemoral syndrome a week ago, and also gained some weight.

If you don't pass "practice" CPAT at orientation (only practice if you fail), does that hurt your chances at all?

[Truckie87]

Has anyone else met with backgrounds yet?

Emails going out to uncertified for Cpat. Friend scored lower than me and got one, I haven't yet. Probably alphabetical order or something. Mid to late May, from what I've heard.

Don?t try to make sense of anything MDFR does.

First couple of groups that got emailed to go through CPAT have been certified. Appointments for psychological have also been emailed so far.

Haven't heard anything so far since the test. I know some certified guys have heard back. I'm working on getting my EMT to ensure I don't miss out on an uncertified EMT class.

With EMT and 91, I'm hoping I have some sort of chance...

This was my first written with Miami, although I only know one other person who got above a 90 and I know about 20 people who took the test. Most test scores were 80?s with a few 70?s.

I just wonder how many uncertified they'll hire in the first class Two people at least that scored higher than me at 91. I really want first class lol, waiting sucks.

Hmm I also wonder how many uncertified they'll be taking. I hope to start and complete Medic school before they take an uncertified class, so maybe that will help. I just want this job so much more than any other one. In my opinion it's one of the best departments in the nation.

Also, that's a great score. First written with Miami? I've heard it's harder than in previous processes. I just hope a 90 is high enough to get hired uncertified. If you don't mind me asking, do you know of many people that got above 90?

I know people that were hired with less than a 90. I got a 95, higher than anyone I know that took the test. Most were 80?s.
