Firefighter recruitment: a trainee's story

[@trecking]

Thank you for the advice, really appreciate it, I've recently applied to Merseyside fire and rescue, I understand the process to even be accepted onto the programme is fee and far between but got to be hopeful that I get a chance. Waiting on results of 2 online assessments to know if I can do the physicals.

Let it inspire you, and even use it to help others in similar situations. Trust me, I’ve done my research, and there’s a wealth of support out there for people like us. Whether you choose to run your own business or work for someone else, embrace your strengths you’ll go far. I’m speaking from experience, as I’ll soon be starting my own business and have plans for multiple ventures in the future. Dyslexia doesn’t have to hold you back; in fact, many of the world’s most successful individuals have turned their challenges into strengths and so can you. Stay determined, believe in yourself, and watch how far you can go!"

Hi! Good day. Am I allowed to apply as a fire fighter here in UK even though I'm an a skilled worker immigrant.

[@jack_irl]

i'd go climbing and bouldering if you want to increase grip strength, things like hang boards are used by climbers for training aswelll which will help.

[@TheWanderer1111]

Always wanted to be a firefighter don't know if i,m too old i,m 26 atm also what's the best way to get started

[@Grahamc22]

I'm 26 too and just finished my final physical exam, and have been accepted fully to start now in October for training. 26 is not too old, that could be a full 30+ years ahead of you. Some people have started training well into their 40s.

[@TheWanderer1111]

[@Elkee68]
