Tactical and Command Testing
Many departments include a tactical testing component in their promotional process in order to assess the fireground command and tactical skills of candidates. Ergometrics offers a tactical assessment exam that utilizes realistic digital simulation to challenge candidates at whatever level your department requires, from basic to more complex scenarios. In the process, the dispatch and response of units unique to your department is choreographed to represent your standard operating procedures. Your radios and communications channels can be used to add more realism to the test. Candidates are evaluated on what matters most, their strategic and tactical development at a simulated fire event.
