FIREFIGHTER PREPARATION
£35.00/ month
The Firefighter Preparation Programme is designed to prepare you for the entry Fire Service fitness tests and the rigours of initial firefighter training.
The programme progressively develops the cardiovascular fitness, strength, power, and work capacity required for the role, whilst building the physical resilience needed to tolerate the demands of recruit training.
Dedicated preparation for your chosen Fire Service fitness test ensures you develop the test-specific fitness and familiarity needed to approach selection with confidence, without losing sight of the greater physical demands that follow.

who is this for?
The Firefighter Preparation Programme is designed for anyone preparing to join the Fire Service.
Structured, progressive training ensures candidates are prepared not only to comfortably pass the required entry fitness tests, but to arrive at recruit training physically prepared for the demands that follow.
To follow the programme you should be comfortable with basic movement patterns such as the squat, hinge, and overhead press.
Which programme track should I choose?
We provide three different tracks to reflect the different fitness tests used by the various services across the UK.
Choose the track that matches your required fitness entry test: MSFT (Bleep Test), Chester Treadmill Walk, or Chester Treadmill Run.
Each track follows the same core programme. Dedicated test-specific training is introduced as you progress to ensure familiarity and build confidence with the testing protocols.
If you are applying to multiple Fire Services, or don't yet know which test you will face, we recommend selecting the MSFT (Bleep Test) track.
