FAQ
Common questions
Which fire services use the NFA tests?
The National Firefighter Ability (NFA) tests are used by the majority of fire and rescue services in England and Wales as part of the National Firefighter Selection (NFS) process — including Greater Manchester, West Midlands, Merseyside, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Kent, Hampshire, Essex, Lancashire, Avon, and Surrey. Some services, including London Fire Brigade, use their own variant. Always check with your specific service which tests they administer.
Is this the same as the real test?
Our simulations are built to match the format, timing, and scenario style of the real NFA tests — 45 minutes for Working with Numbers, 35 minutes for Understanding Information and Situational Awareness. No practice site can replicate the exact proprietary software, but our tests are calibrated to give you an authentic preparation experience.
What happens after I pay?
You get instant access to all three NFA test simulations with unlimited attempts. Access never expires. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.
Do I need a calculator for the Working with Numbers test?
No — calculators are not permitted in the real test. You are given rough working paper. Our simulation reflects this. Practise mental arithmetic and written working to build speed before your selection day.
Can I get a refund?
If you're not happy with the product, get in touch within 7 days of purchase and we'll make it right — either by resolving the issue or issuing a refund.
