TENTATIVE 2021 HIRING PROCESS SCHEDULE
NOTE: All dates are subject to change! The next stage of the process is the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT). More information on this test can be found on our
website. Please take the time to review the information so that you know how to prepare and what to expect. You do NOT have to test with our agency - we will accept CPAT cards dated between 1/17/2021 - 7/17/2021 from another IAFF-licensed facility. Please email a copy of your valid CPAT card/certification
AND contact information for the agency where you tested to hireVBFD@vbgov.com. We also recommend that you bookmark this page, as it will be updated with the latest information.
Q: I need to make a change/update to my already submitted Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ). How can I go about sending you an update? A: Please send an email to hireVBFD@vbgov.com stating that you need to make a change/update to your PHQ. We will send out an addendum page for you to complete with any additional information that you might have. Once completed, please return via email and it will be added to your PHQ.
