Canadian Firefighter Practice Tests

The tests Canadian departments actually use, drilled the way they actually run.

Original, structure-matched

Every question is our own work, written for the structure and timing of the real Canadian test families: FireTEAM, FACT, CPS-style, and department exams.

Explanations that teach

Every answer explains the why, and every section has a study guide that teaches the concepts before you drill them. No surprises on test day.

One price, nothing per attempt

Vendors charge per attempt and prep packs expire in weeks. Pro is one membership across every bank, mock, and simulator: no per-sitting fees, no expiring packs, and weakness analytics steering what you drill next.

Choose your test

Your posting names the test before it names the skills. Start from the family you have been booked into. Test families change between intakes, so always confirm the current one on the posting or with the recruiter.

NTN FireTEAM

Verified for Kelowna. Other participating departments across Canada use it too.

Four timed sections with human relations weighted heaviest, the way the real sitting weights it. Fresh paper every sitting.

Open the FireTEAM-style full mock

OFAI FACT

Verified for Toronto, Ottawa, Brampton, and Toronto Pearson.

The OFAI Stage One structure: a timed aptitude battery covering reading, math, mechanical, and mapping, plus a character inventory walkthrough in education mode.

Open the FACT-style full mock

NTN Fire Express and PSSA

Verified for Calgary. Confirm what your own intake names.

Calgary's NTN sitting: judgment and human relations, mechanical, math, and reading, with an unscored PSSA familiarisation appended. Fresh paper every sitting.

Open the Fire Express mock

CPS-style exams

Verified for Edmonton and Hamilton.

CPS-style batteries mix mechanical reasoning, math, reading, and judgment. No CPS-branded simulator here yet, so pick those banks and sit a fresh timed paper drawn from just them.

Edmonton Threshold Knowledge Test

Verified as a step in Edmonton's process.

Modelled on Edmonton's TKT: 50 questions, 60 minutes, chapter-weighted from the fire knowledge bank and scored against an 80 percent practice standard with a per-topic breakdown.

Open the TKT simulator

Department fire-knowledge exams

Written exams appear in several verified processes, including Vancouver and West Kelowna.

Original questions aligned to the topic areas Essentials-based written exams draw from. Academy exams test the same material.

Practice by skill

Every family above is built from the same handful of sections. If you already know which one is costing you marks, go straight at it.

Full-length simulators
