The Ontario Fire Administration Inc. Candidate Testing Services are contracted and facilitated through the GTAA Fire and Emergency Services Training Institute.
Located at Toronto International Airport in the heart of Toronto, Ontario, The Fire and Emergency Services Training Institute (FESTI) provide easy access to the provincial and global community. Unlike other testing facilities that offer testing related to fire & emergency services, FESTI is a division of an operational fire department allowing them to harness their experience to provide current, up to date training and evaluations.
The technical expertise of the evaluators at FESTI coupled with their extensive industry knowledge made them the ideal choice for facilitating the OFAI CTS.
We drew upon the expertise of the FESTI team to work with us on the delivery of our comprehensive and cost effective candidate assessments. Understanding the need for a standardized approach, the team at FESTI worked with the OFAI in ensuring that the delivery of the candidate testing services is of the highest standard, is evaluated and proctored in a fair and standardized manner and that it is delivered in standardized manner.
