Performance Test Instructions

iii

This performance test supplement is based on the 2009 Edition of NFPA 1002; Standard for Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator Professional Qualification and provides the detailed performance test checklist items required for candidate testing.

Performance tests should not be conducted until the candidate has successfully completed the academic portion of the CDC. However, it is strongly encouraged that this supplement and the checklist it contains be used during the normal course of study. Candidates may practice the performance tests at anytime during study and up until testing is conducted. Practice is highly encouraged.

This particular course uses three workstations. Within each workstation there are several tasks and objectives (NFPA line items). A “Performance Summary Sheet” precedes each workstation or group of evaluated tasks. This sheet lists the NFPA line items evaluated and the specific tasks that must be accomplished. Each performance test lists the setting and tools/equipment required for the listed tasks.

Remember, official performance test notifications must be made ten days prior to the actual performance test or the candidate’s performance test results will not be accepted by the DoD Administrative Center. For specific program guidance see DoD Manual 6055.6. Your performance test notifications must be made using the following web site. http://www.dodffcert.com/performance/notify.cfm

It is important also to understand the grading process used during the evaluation. For a full overview of the CDC process and performance testing please view the Department of Defense Fire Fighter Certification Program Video P/N # 612288. Additional information on grading criteria is provided on the next page.

Grading Criteria

iv

The following criteria will be used to evaluate and determine the pass/fail status of a candidate. Each item in the Performance Test Checklist is given a rating. Critical (C) – This rating has been assigned to items which, if omitted or performed incorrectly, would result in severe injury to, or death of an individual. Should a fire fighter fail to perform any one item rated as Critical (C), the fire fighter would be unsuccessful in attaining the required proficiency level for that performance test. Major (M) – This rating has been given to any item which is very important to the general safety of personnel and the successful completion of the evolution. Should a fire fighter fail to perform any three items rated as Major (M), the fire fighter would be unsuccessful in attaining the required proficiency level for that performance test. General – This rating although there is not symbol, has been given to all remaining items that in combination are relevant to the successful completion of the evolution. Should a fire fighter fail to perform any four items rated as General, the fire fighter would be unsuccessful in attaining the required proficiency level for that performance test. Should a fire fighter fail to perform any combination of Major or General rated items resulting in a sum total of four, the fire fighter would be unsuccessful in attaining the required proficiency level for that performance test.
