Providence Academy

[Sir12280]

has anyone heard when providence might be starting an academy, they've completed all the testing and have sent out letters stating they'll be making their selections within the next few weeks but havent heard anything yet and that was over a month ago

[panic66]

I haven't but best of luck to you. I applied to N.Providence and I'm about to take my written (Nov 4th).

[Steeda83]

yeah just waiting is the worst, hang in there, good luck!

[Sir12280]

i heard letters went out for the academy, anyone else hear anything?

[emtJon]

I know they're out; a friend of mine got his last week. I'm not sure how many got accepted into the first academy, but I believe it was somewhere around 35. If you didn't get yours, don't worry--this definitely won't be the only academy.

[Steeda83]

yup the letters went out but i also heard there will be another academy following this one, so goodluck

providence fire academy

Got my letter from providence, looks like i'll be in the 48th academy. Does anyone know when the 47th academy & 48th academy should start, and where would they hold the academy?

[Steeda83]

congrats, but dont get too worked up, you'll still have to pass a psych and medical exam

If it's the same letter I got, it doesn't mean crap. Just that you aren't in the 47th.

what did yours say? a friend of mine got one that said hes in the pool of prospective candidates for the 48th and possibly the 47th, or something along those lines, it also said not to call the DOT

Mine said the same, and I'll bet all the money in my pocket right now that e2firefighterdw's letter was identical. Reading comprehension, people....

lol give the guy a break, when you get a letter the first time you're so nervous/excited you barely recognize the words, but yeah besides i'd doubt they would send out letters for the 48th academy considering the 47th only has a tenative starting date

They were told to report January 8th.

[Steeda83]

When was the last time that Providence gave a test and a group of disgruntled applicants didn't file a lawsuit. I have heard that may happen this time also. Good luck to all but don't count on anything.
