Text Box: SELECTION PROCESS OVERVIEW Qualified applicants will be invited to participate in a written examination. Applicants who pass the written exam become eligible for a first level interview. Applicants who are selected will go on for a second level interview. After the second level interview, applicants who are selected will be scheduled for a candidate physical ability test (CPAT).   Applicants who pass the CPAT are placed on an eligibility list. As openings occur, Firefighter recruits musts complete a 12 week academy and are then placed in the field as probationary Firefighters for a period of 12 months. Note: Successful completion of all phases of the selection process does NOT automatically guarantee a position with the City of Tempe Fire Department. Position vacancies, academy class size, and time constraints dictate if a candidate will be hired.
