Firefighter Fitness
Preparation Course. 

Ideally, preparation should begin as early as possible. Starting earlier gives us more time to develop the underlying physical qualities required and ensure you arrive at assessment day properly prepared.

Ideally, yes. Different Fire & Rescue Services can use different physical and practical assessments, so knowing the service you're applying to allows us to make your preparation more specific. If you're still deciding between services, we can still begin developing your physical foundations and train for multiple services at the same time.

You don't need one to start. In many cases, beginning before you receive an assessment date gives you more time to develop your fitness and prepare properly.

Yes. Your programme is built around your current capabilities and training experience. You don't need to reach a particular fitness level before starting.

Where appropriate, your preparation will progressively incorporate the movements, physical demands and test formats relevant to your assessments. The aim isn't simply to repeatedly practise the tests, but to develop the physical qualities that underpin your performance in them. Due to equipment restrictions, we won't be able to facilitate the exact testing environment or equipment unless a local station with the equipment allows you to. That said, we can replicate the physical demands of many assessments closely using standard gym equipment, allowing you to prepare as specifically as possible within the equipment available.

Yes. Your training programme and coaching are delivered online, allowing you to complete your training around your own schedule while receiving ongoing one-to-one support.
