Ready to unlock your career as a firefighter?
It's important to note that various fire services across the UK may implement different testing protocols. Give yourself the best opportunity and use the most amount of time possible to prepare. If you have a confirmed date that is too close, we won't accept you onto the programme as you have left it too late and us taking you on will be unjustified.
On the flip side, you don't need to have applied for the role to apply for our programming. As long as you are thinking about a career in the fire service and are preparing to apply, our programming is open to you.
Enhance Your Training With The Polar H10 HRM.
START UP are excited to announce that we have teamed up with Polar Electro giving you the option to get a generous discounted price on the Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor when you join any of our programmes. The Polar H10 is widely regarded as the best sensor there is for Heart Rate Monitoring. The Heart Rate Monitor is trusted by medical researchers and sports professionals around the globe and used by the UK Ministry of Defence.

When applying to any of our programmes, you'll have the option to express interest in a Polar H10 Heart Rate Monitor, which you can order following the Initial Consultation at a discounted price. It’s a one-time payment and once you order it, it’s yours to keep — no hidden fees, no contracts, no having to return it once you finish the programme.
Using a heart rate monitor (HRM) isn’t a requirement to start with us, but we strongly recommend it—especially if you don’t already own one. The Polar H10 stands out for its accuracy and real-time feedback, offering detailed data that helps us fine-tune your training intensity, monitor recovery, and track your overall progress.
More importantly, a HRM can offer valuable insights into your cardiovascular health. For firefighters, this matters. Cardiac events remain the leading cause of on-duty firefighter deaths, often triggered by the physical demands of the job. Having access to real-time heart data isn’t just useful—it could be life-saving.

You don't need to pay to apply. Payment is only taken once a start date is confirmed and you begin your first week. The Initial Consultation is free and you can change your mind at anytime.
