ADAPTIVE PREPARATION SYSTEM · FIREFIGHTER RECRUITMENT AU + NZ

Know where you stand before recruitment does.

FirePrep shows where you stand, finds the gap most likely to hold you back, and tells you what to train next across PAT, aptitude, psychometric, interview and group assessment, for the service you're applying to.

No card · About 15 minutes · Independent preparation

THE PROBLEM

Make your preparation less of a guessing game.

  1. You know the recruitment stages, but not which preparation area is weakest.

  2. You don't know how your current performance compares with your service's published requirement.

  3. Without priorities, it's easy to keep practising what already feels comfortable.

THE ADAPTIVE LOOP

Assess. Benchmark. Prioritise. Train. Review. Adapt.

FirePrep keeps reading your preparation evidence, finds the most important gap right now, recommends the next action, then updates as you improve.

  1. 01

    Assess

    A 15-minute readiness check across all five assessment areas.

  2. 02

    Benchmark

    Compared with your target service's published material, kept separate from FirePrep's coaching goals.

  3. 03

    Prioritise

    One limiting factor and one next action.

  4. 04

    Train

    Short drills aimed at that gap.

  5. 05

    Review

    FireCoach debriefs each drill straight away.

  6. 06

    Adapt

    Retest and your readiness, gaps and plan update.

SERVICE-SPECIFIC PREPARATION

Built for the fire service you're actually applying to.

Requirements vary by service and pathway. FirePrep uses your service and pathway as context, and keeps official requirements separate from its own coaching model.

All fire service guides · Requirements on each guide come from official sources.

WHY TRUST IT

Built on official sources, not test-prep guesswork.

Official sources
Service requirements come from each service's published recruitment material, with links to the source.
Updated when sources change
When a service changes its published requirements, the guides change with it.
Independent
FirePrep is not affiliated with or endorsed by any fire service.
Coaching is our model
Readiness scores and preparation weights are FirePrep's coaching model, not official assessment weighting or results.
PRICING

One system, not five subscriptions.

Most candidates cobble it together — a fitness app for the PAT, an aptitude site, an interview coach, a spreadsheet to track it all, and a generic AI to ask. None of them know your target service, and none of them tell you what to do next. FirePrep is one adaptive system that does. Pick a window that matches your timeline, pay once — no auto-renew, no card on file you forgot about.

Every pass unlocks the entire system — no locked features, no upsells. The only difference is how long your window is and how many services you can run at once.

QUESTIONS YOU'D ASK BEFORE PAYING

Plain answers. No marketing-speak.

How is this different from a question bank or a fitness app?

FirePrep combines a readiness check with fitness, aptitude and interview preparation. Use your readiness report to choose an area to practise, then revisit your readiness as you prepare. Published requirements are service- and pathway-specific; FirePrep's coaching guidance is not an official selection result.

I haven't applied yet. Is this still worth my time?

Yes. You can use the free readiness check before applying to identify an area to work on. You do not need to predict an intake date to start preparing.

I got knocked back last round. What do I do differently?

Run the readiness check, then look at the gap callout alongside any feedback from your last application. Use that information to choose an area to practise rather than repeating your previous preparation unchanged.

Who reviews the content?

FirePrep's service guides use published recruitment material for the services they cover. Check the cited sources and your target service's current recruitment guidance for requirements that apply to your pathway. FirePrep is independent preparation, not a service-endorsed review of your readiness.

Can I use it on my phone?

FirePrep is a web app with a mobile layout, so you can open it in your phone's browser. Try the free readiness check on your device before buying a pass.

Can I prepare for more than one service at once?

Yes. Set your main service and add other supported services you're considering. When you have more than one active selected service, use the service switcher to change the service you're viewing without changing your main service. Requirements and available published benchmarks differ by service and pathway; use the relevant guide rather than treating a comparison as an official selection score.
