    Study Notes

    Cadet Phase Training and Testing Program

    • The Spring Fire Department (SFD) has defined a testing procedure for newly hired employees and volunteers during their first year of service.

    • This program applies to all new SFD personnel, and compliance is mandatory.

    • It encompasses four phases, each lasting three months, culminating in a comprehensive final exam.

    • The purpose of the program is to evaluate and assess the competency of new firefighters.

    • The program aims to ensure that all firefighters meet the department's performance standards.

    • Cadets must achieve a passing score on all written tests and performance standard evaluations in each phase.

    • Upon successful completion of all four phases and one year of employment, Cadet Firefighters are eligible for a promotion to Firefighter 1.

    • The phase testing process is administered through the Vector Solutions website.

    • It will be the Cadet's responsibility to register for the website and complete the assigned training modules.

    • The assigned Captain will monitor the Cadet's progress and support their successful completion of each phase.

    Phase Breakdown

    • Each phase of the testing program includes a selection of performance standard skills tests and a written test over the specific phase guidelines.

    • The final exam encompasses a comprehensive written exam over all the phase guidelines and a territory test of major roads and cross streets within the assigned district.

    Grading and Retesting

    • SFD requires a passing score on all aspects of the phase testing program.
    • If a Cadet fails a test, a retest is scheduled within one week.
    • After two failed attempts, a verbal warning is given.
    • Following a third failed attempt, a written warning is issued.
    • Failure to pass after the fourth attempt results in the Cadet being removed from the program.
    • The same policy applies to performance standard evaluations.

    Ranking

    For full-time firefighters, seniority is determined by a combined score from all four phase guideline tests and the final exam. The scores are averaged to determine the final ranking.

    Cadet Status

    • A Cadet Volunteer Firefighter must complete all requirements of a Recruit Firefighter and hold a Firefighter 1 certification issued by the State Firefighter's and Fire Marshals' Association of Texas, Texas Commission on Fire Protection or the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress.

    • A Cadet Volunteer Firefighter is eligible for promotion to Firefighter after completing phase testing, and they will be assigned shifts in accordance with SFD.036 Volunteer Staffing Procedures.

    • A Cadet Volunteer Firefighter is authorized to be an interior firefighter.

    • A Cadet Full/Part Time Firefighter is an individual who has completed the hiring process and is under the supervision of a Captain.

    • A Cadet Firefighter is eligible for promotion to Firefighter 1 after completing one year of employment and phase testing.

    • A Cadet Firefighter will be supervised by their assigned Captain who will oversee their training, documentation, and testing in conjunction with the District Chief and SFD Training Division.
