It's one of the only departments in Florida that doesn't require Florida FF1/FF2

[Mrod10-25]

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...

[PWCCandidate]

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.

The day applications were accepted. I'm not sweating it though, because as an out of stater I doubt I'd have a shot anyways

Heard anything yet? I'm surprised a process this large doesn't have a more active thread. Active threads here have given me a wealth of information previously.

Got a 90. Uncertified. Disappointed Not sure it's good enough to get hired

Don't be so sure. I'm an out of state guy. It's all about the written score now, from what I understand. I legitimately think I got every question right. I know for a fact I got all the audio, 53 questions, right.

When did you apply?

I never heard anything after I turned my application in. No invite to the written.

Anyone know how many they plan to take to cpat? And if they still give lottery numbers? Pretty sure I scored very highly. Just worried about background. Have been fired from two jobs in the past 5 years.

Pretty much FL doesn?t play well with others.
If you have proboard you?ll still have to test out in the middle of FL to get your fire cert. it?s ridiculous

What's the reasoning that most Florida departments require Florida certifications? Just to cut out out-of-state applicants?
