Prep Class
Our Recruiting Division hosts prep classes to help applicants feel more prepared for the most challenging parts of the hiring process – the physical assessment and board interview. During the prep class, applicants can practice the 1.5-mile run, one minute of sit-ups, and one-minute of push-ups, and staff will provide tips on how to improve physical fitness scores. Applicants will also have an opportunity to attend an interview workshop to receive information and training about how to improve their interview skills.
