Important: Please Read

*Participants must be 18 years of age or older The RIAFC will offer the Firefighter Physical Performance Assessment Test (PPA) for firefighter candidates. A credit card is required ($180 for test with the practice included). All Rhode Island fire departments accept this PPA certificate. For specific department information and/or requirements, contact the local fire department. A certificate recognizing a passing time (time limit 8 minutes) will be issued following your test, should you pass. Your certificate is good for one (1) full year. Individual cities or towns reserve the right to request specifically dated tests, which may require you to take the test twice in a 12-month period. A completed Medical Examination Form signed within 1 year of test date and Waiver and Release Form must be submitted at the practice session or test session. Without these forms you will not be permitted to participate in the PPA nor will the PPA be rescheduled.

Once you have registered online, a test date and a practice session date (if chosen) will be assigned. Dates are issued in order, on a first registered, first scheduled basis. Remember: in order to participate in a practice session, you must select that option during the registration process.
