You must contact a particular department, they will give you the information to apply for a job with that department.
Some require you to have the certifications before hiring and some will pay you while you attend school.
Every department is different and unless you talk to them nothing is going to be helpful.
Without knowing where you live it's a bit difficult to give you a decent answer
IN the UK, you can easily get an application by going onto the website of whichever
locality your local police/fire fighters/paramedics are in
Simply search 'your location police force ' and take it from there
Remember they get thousands of applications and in the UK only around 10% of the total applications are successful to get onto the training, and even then that does not guarantee they will succeed
I know this because I know someone who applied recently
Since I'm also trying to be a police officer, I can tell you at least this much: The requirements vary from department to department, or state to state (for state police.) Almost all of them require college, if you're looking at small departments you'd most likely need to put yourself through the academy before applying. Most of them take prior military service in lieu of college credits.
If the department is hiring: You'll have to pass a written examination
If you score high enough on the written exam, you'll move on to a physical agility test.
If you pass the physical agility test you'll have a background test and a polygraph examination, and the interviews.
Departments hire a specific number of people, so it's extremely competitive. Good luck.
UK, USA, Canada, Timbuktoo? knowing which country would help you to get an answer that would help and apply to you.
it actually Fire Fighter not Fire Man because Fire Man is Sexist
