LAFD Recruit Services Section offers the Candidate Advancement Program to candidates in the hiring process.
All LAFD programs are free. The Department does not charge for any of our recruitment and mentoring services, nor do we accept gifts or special favors for our services. If someone approaches you requesting money or special favors, please notify a uniformed Firefighter immediately.
The most difficult challenge firefighter recruits face is the physical requirements of the fire academy. To assist you in the area, the Los Angeles Fire Department offers the Candidate Advancement Program (CAP) to help you get physically fit, get accustomed to the training style you will encounter in the academy, and have a successful career. We strongly encourage all LAFD candidates to take advantage of this FREE program. Note: First-time attendees must show up 30 minutes before to register for the program.
