Just wanted to say that your videos have been a great help. I applied to join as an RDS Firefighter in Shetland earlier this year. I passed the interview stage a couple of months ago (following your tips on PQAs) and passed the fitness tests today! Just got the medical and eye tests to go. Training starts in March. Can’t wait! Thanks again for your helpful content. All the best.

HI Richard. I just wanted to say thank you. I watched all of your videos and also bought your e book. I applied for WMFS and passed first time and have been in a year now. Its changed my life. I have spoken to several people since who are applying and I've always recommended your content.

Thank you so much for putting this video up, as soon as I finish watching this, went onto the greater Manchester fire rescue service and sign up showing interest, like I found my calling, hope I'm one of the lucky ones and I haven't left it to late by showing my interest in April and doesn't go live until December and seeing I'm at the tender age of 30, so in the meantime I have purchased some of your books to prepare myself and to learn more about this career and what it involves and seeing I have 8 months it's a lot of time to prepare and get my fitness levels back up.

Have my interview tomorrow for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service I purchased the interview manual and has definitely gave me ideas and helped me in structuring my answers. I just hope it goes well and I remember everything I’ve learned. Wish me luck

Just wanna say thank you, Richard. I made it the first time through the interview. In the end, we were all laughing and got a thumbs up also!!!! Thank you also for the verbal reasoning content, I purchased your book!!

Thanks for your kindness and giving information for applicants to suport thier ideas.

Hi there I really am looking to become a firefighter, i am 28 years old and I will be really watching all of your videos on how to become successful.

Hi Richard, I have successfully been offered a job within the fire service and these types of videos certainly helped give me a good idea and something to build on so thank you

I'm 17 yrs old and I didn't know what carrer to have to help the community and being a fireman is my top no 1 priority because u can help your community, and I always want to help people and after watching this I'm going to study the manuals in your bio and when I leave school in a few months I'll go and sign up for it I hope I get in

Thank you for this! Currently waiting for whole time positions to come up in West Yorkshire

This video helped a lot, I've wanted to become a firefighter for ages I'm 16 and I'm trying to get as much voluntary work as possible so at 18 I can join and do a job I want to do. Thanks.

I’m 14 rn life has been hard I want to join firefighters because I want to help people I also have adhd also so I feel like becoming a firefighter will help me

Thank you so much for you help ! I am Applying for the Scottish fire and rescue service. You have helped me so much and given me so many amazing tips !

I'm 15, and I've been helping out for the last 6 months and still ongoing volunteering/helping at under 8s football team. Would this be seen as volanteery

I have my interview next month. The biggest thing I’m concerned about is that it seems you have to have been in situations relevant to the questions they are asking. In my current role as a labourer I’ve never had to challenge unacceptable behaviour or promote diversity, simply because it’s never been up to me to do. So simply because I’ve never been in those situations myself I feel like I’m destined to fail it and it’s playing on my mind a lot. I worked my arse off in preparation for the physical assessment and passed every aspect with flying colours, so to not get through the interview stage simply because of my lack of experience in certain uncommon situations will be a complete buzz kill for me

Hi Richard, I have recently bought the Firefighter Test book from How2become, and I have noticed it was published in 2010. Can you tell me if this is still current. Thanks Jamie

On the pqa stage now hoping to get passed this to the next stage and hopefully go all the way thinking about purchasing your manuals

hey, my dad joined the fire brigade in the 80s he always said he didn't want me to join so naturally i applied this month. my application has been successful and i'm thru to the next round of taking a online talent screening test. what do i need to research and practise?? I found out today im through to the next round and the link to my test expires in 2 days time.

I have to do a report in college on the progression routes of an whole time firefighter please may you help

When you talk about the application form, are you talking about just a Cv and cover letter?

Hi Richard. This is very useful so thank you. Regarding the application form, do your answers have a time limit on them for instance 'give an example of a situation in the last 3 years'? I have a military background 4 years ago in which most of my answers would work best hence my question. Thanks

Does attendance matter

Am I right in thinking that the firefighter PQAs have now been replaced with the National Leadership Framework?

Hey I am 28 years old, Italian living in the UK. Am I able to apply for the firefighters? If yes, What points should be aware of to get into the firefighters? I've been working out over two years (swimming and gym) and I am ready to get tougher . I am also part of a church that has some social activities however I am not sure if this applies as a Community work. What sort of community work should I do? I am asking these question because I read the Requirements for a firefighter but as I am reading the comments bellow it does not seem to be as simple as it looks like. Would love to get some tips! Thank you for your video, it helped a lot!

I’m 34 years old and working night shifts I’m currently studying to become a full time firefighter and doing part time volunteer work for the community I have been on West Yorkshire fire and rescue service website and have seen that recruitment is currently closed for whole time firefighters. I am just watching out for the next one that may be? This is something I have wanted to get in to for a long time but work and family commitments had always taken priority. My family are getting older now and I want to take the next step. I wasn’t sure with my age if it affects anything and me already working if you have any advice I would appreciate it. Please let me know what my options are. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards

I think they’ve made it way too difficult.

It's impossible for a student with no experience to join
