FireTEAM Promote Book Tests
Some departments prefer to assign publications for promotional candidates to study. Ergometrics can supply tests composed of carefully written test items referenced to recognized fire service textbooks. A department may use Ergometrics' standard exams developed for specific job categories or may obtain a customized test by choosing items from our extensive item bank. We can also create custom test items from other sources, including internal documents such as department SOP's. Standardized tests and reading lists are available for Company Officer and Driver/Operator.
