Pack Test

Candidates must successfully complete the Pack Test at the Ardous Level. The Pack Test Sheet provides a detailed description of the test and training.
Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT)
The Albuquerque Fire Department has adopted the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) as a physical agility component in the hiring process. Testing is for candidates for hire only.
Firefighting requires above average aerobic and anaerobic capacity, muscular endurance and strength, and flexibility. The test is designed to identify individuals who have the physical attributes to perform the job of a firefighter. The test consists of eight separate job related physical tasks performed in a continuous sequence. The Orientation Guide provides a detailed description of the course and explains the Pass/Fail scoring system.

It tests a candidate to determine whether they are physically qualified to perform the job of a firefighter. All candidates must successfully pass the CPAT test for consideration of employment with the Albuquerque Fire Department.
The required job skills of modern firefighters are complex and rigorous. Firefighting is one of the most physically demanding jobs in the country, and it requires high levels of cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. The CPAT workshops will afford candidates the opportunity to view test events, talk with instructors, and physically examine each test component in a controlled setting. Candidates will be allowed to practice and train in each specific activity. In most instances, training in each task proves the most effective means of success in the event.
Participants will be required to sign an injury waiver prior to their participation in any workshop.
