Candidate Advancement Program

PREP PROGRAM

The Candidate Advancement Program (CAP)

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.
