Miami Dade Fire Rescue 2018

[Miami14]

Hey guys and girls. I’m a FF with MDFR and was told by friend who’s applying non-Cert that MDFR is not putting on the non-Cert class till after the new year because they can’t get enough people to pass the cpat. My list had two non Cert classes so that may mean the same for this list. Sorry... non-Cert class started dec 16.

Any body hear anything from Headquarters?

How do you know November is uncertified?

They told my buddy that at intake.

[Ffarodr]

Yes, November is uncertified. I haven't heard back since psych. Hopefully MDFR isn't one of the departments that never lets you know if you failed. I at least want to know.

People that passed psych: how long did it take before you got your results?

Someone told me Sep 30 - Oct 4 for official offers. I've done my psych 1, waiting on intake. Not sure if they're trying to squeeze us all in for the November 18 academy.

I'm uncertified, but EMT.

Anyone else get a conditional offer today? Certified brothers

[PWCCandidate]

Closest to resume is PHQ, but you have to use their format. Plus, the date for PHQ submission has already passed.

No oral or resume request?

[PWCCandidate]

Good luck to everyone in the process! I have sat on the oral board and have seen the common pitfalls that close the door for the aspiring candidate. Feel free to message me if you would like help in the process. The resume needs to be clear, concise, tell a story and list achievements along with responsibilities. The panel has anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to figure out if they want to work with you for the next 20 or 30 years.

There is no oral for MDFR.

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.

Have you been scheduled a psych?

[Truckie87]

How long ago did you meet with backgrounds?

I met with them at the end of May
