If you take the examination in May and your CPAT expires in June, it is your responsibility to send us an updated CPAT card. If you do not submit a valid CPAT card by the posted deadline, you will be removed from the Registry the next time it is established. We do send out e-mails to all candidates that have one or more of their requirements that will expire before the next due date.

The Registry goes out twice a year. If you do not have a current written examination score or a valid CPAT (CPAT must be less that one year old from the date of the upcoming semi-annual written test in that same calendar year), you will be dropped.

If you wish to submit your CPAT after the deadline, you are welcome to do that, but you will not be placed on the current Registry under any circumstances. You will be placed on the Registry after the completion of the next future FIREHIRE® Inc. examination process.
