INTENT
It is the intent of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control (Division) and Colorado Fire Service
Training and Certification Advisory Board (Advisory Board) that all candidates taking any examination for
certification receive equal instruction, explanation, assistance and evaluation from a Proctor. In order to
accomplish these objectives, this set of Policies has been prepared and provided for you. These Policies
adhere to the recommendations and requirements established in National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) 1000, Standard on Fire Service Professional Qualifications Accreditation and Certification
Systems.
INTRODUCTION
These Proctor Policies have been designed to allow you, as a State of Colorado certified Written Proctor, to
administer written examinations only for certification at levels offered by the Division and for which you
meet the prescribed requirements. This document applies ONLY to written examination proctors.
The Colorado Firefighter Voluntary Certification Program was created and is administered by legislative
statute. The program is assigned to the Division. The Advisory Board has rule making authority and
develops the policies and requirements for administering the firefighter certification program. The Board
consists of members appointed by the Governor and represents various fire service constituents throughout
the state.
8 CCR 1507-3, printed in the 1996 Public Record Corporation document, Colorado Code of Regulations,
titled Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire Prevention & Control, Rules Pertaining to the
Firefighter Voluntary Certification Program (Firefighter Rules) was adopted on October 23, 1996, and
became effective on November 30, 1996. These Firefighter Rules are revised from time to time, to meet the
needs of the firefighter certification program. The most recent revision was adopted on May 4, 2005, and
became effective on June 30, 2005.
The purpose of the Firefighter Rules, Certification Policies and this Policy is to maintain a secure
certification program, based on integrity, consistency and credibility. This cannot be accomplished without
the assistance of each and every participant, department head, training officer, and certified proctor utilizing
the system.

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Information Regarding Disclosure of Personal Information
The principal purpose of the information requested on the Application and Request for Examination
(Scantron ™ Form) will be used for processing applications and maintaining records of participation in
certification and training programs administered by the Division of Fire Prevention & Control. Information
such as age and sex are used for statistical purposes only, and will not be considered in evaluating
applications for training or certification.
The Social Security number is used as an identifier to match the person completing training or certification
with the correct master record in order to better assist you in obtaining certifications and training records.
The use of the Social Security number is necessary because of the large number of individuals who have
identical names and birth dates, and whose identities can only be distinguished by the Social Security
number.
The home address and telephone number are solicited as a means to better serve you in the future. At the
present time, the Division of Fire Prevention & Control does not have the means to communicate directly
with participants in the training and certification programs. Disclosure of this information will permit the
Division to mail training notices and newsletters directly to program participants.
Personal information provided on this form is given on a voluntary basis. Failure to provide the requested
information, however, may result in a delay in processing applications or certifications and locating master
records. Failure to provide home address and telephone number will preclude the Division from contacting
you directly on training and certifications matters.

5. “Your responses must be clearly marked on the Certification Test Answer Sheet and
correspond with the same question number. Incomplete erasures or stray marks may be

(amount of time) to complete the examination. iPad examinations will start once
you select ok and will shut off when time expires.”
(Verbalize the appropriate amount of time for each examination being given)
NOTE 1: Refer to the examination envelope(s) for the amount of time allowed. If more
than one certification level is being administered you must tell each candidate
how much time they will have to complete their examination.
NOTE 2: Please refer to the above chart for examination time.
7. “Read each question carefully. Answer each item to the best of your ability and choose the most
correct answer although it might look like there is more than one correct answer. It is best
to read each item completely before you respond. You may flag questions on the iPad and
return to them for review, but you must answer each question and un-flag the marked ones
before you select “complete and grade”.
8. “The examination Proctor cannot explain the test items or assist in your response to them.”
9. “The Division of Fire Prevention & Control is committed to assuring that every examination
meets rigorous standards of quality and fairness. In order to achieve this goal, each test question
is subjected to a review process before it is ever used on an examination. Each new question
undergoes a careful review to ensure that:
-it is clear and unambiguous
-it has one and only one best answer that most accurately and most completely
answers the question.
-it meets the standards for fairness and sensitivity
Despite these precautions, on rare occasions an error or ambiguity may be found in a test
question by a candidate. If this occurs, the candidate may demonstrate in writing by making an
appeal and/or suggestion to the validity of an examination question or answer.
The challenge must be put in writing using an “Examination Challenge/ Appeals/Suggestion
Form.” Please let your Proctor know if you need this form.”
“This form must be completed and turned into the proctor before the candidate leaves the
testing area. The candidate must fill out this form completely and independently. In other words,
the challenge is not a group effort or in any way a joint effort amongst the proctor and
candidate. Additionally, the candidate shall not refer to reference materials when completing
the form.
The proctor will send the challenge to the Division of Fire Prevention & Control with the
candidate’s examination. Once the Division receives the challenge, it will be forwarded to a
committee for review.
Page | 20
A decision will be made within 60 days of receipt of the challenge. The written response will
state the decision reached by the committee concerning the candidate’s inquiry or challenge, and
explain the reasons for that decision. If you disagree with the decision by the committee, you may
submit a reply to the committee’s response to the Director of the Division of Fire Prevention &
Control. The decision of the Director is final.”
10. “If you fail an examination you will be entitled to a retake examination. This retake examination
will be the entire test.”
11. “If you have any questions, please raise your hand and the Proctor will try to help you.”
12. “DO NOT MARK IN YOUR TEST BOOKLET OR ATTEMPT TO OPEN ANY

SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES EXAMINATIONS
CDFPC is committed to providing reasonable accommodation(s) for persons with special circumstances
during written examinations. Proctoring a written examination for an applicant with special
circumstances is allowed under the Firefighter Rules. Examples of special circumstances may be one or
more of the following, but not limited to:
Visual impairment;
Hearing impairment;
Learning/reading disability (e.g. dyslexia, limited reading level);
Writing arm impairment (e.g. arm/hand in a cast, sling or brace).
When testing, the department/agency which the applicant is affiliated must notify, in writing, CDFPC of
the special circumstances prior to the scheduling of the written examination.
The candidate must provide medical evaluation documentation demonstrating the need for
special accommodation.
Submitted documentation will be reviewed by CDFPC staff to determine accommodations to be
granted.
The candidate or training officer shall be contacted to make arrangements or advise denial for
special accommodation testing. Based on accommodations granted, if a reader is required he/she
must meet the following:
Examination will be proctored by CDFPC staff
The reader must be certified at or above the level being tested
A candidate, or candidates, scheduled to test at a particular date and time but unable to attend the
scheduled test, may reschedule the examination if arrangements are made between the Proctor and the
Division. Circumstances which might allow this rescheduled test date would be:
Sudden illness
Change in work schedule
Emergency response
Other unexpected family emergency (e.g. illness, death)
For a candidate with circumstances not addressed here, contact the Division to ask for direction
regarding the circumstances involved.

TESTING IMPROPRIETIES
In the event that a candidate is observed or suspected of cheating and if, based on the preliminary
investigation, the circumstances are judged to be sufficient, the individual(s) involved will not be
allowed to continue the examination and will be removed from the testing location. The appropriate
department head or department training officer will be notified, as well as the Certification Director.
The written proctor will prepare and forward a record of circumstances to the Certification Manager.
A review of circumstances will be conducted and appropriate actions will be determined by the
Certification Manager.
The individual(s) involved, and possibly the department or agency the individual represents, will not be
allowed to continue in the Certification Program until the issue is resolved.
EXAMINATION QUESTION CHALLENGE
The Division has attempted to develop, through the use of nationally recognized test banks, written
examinations which are factually correct when specific knowledge objectives are involved. The
Division does not allow candidate or organization representative review of their written examinations.
It is important in ensuring test validity that this type of review not be allowed.
Any candidate may challenge a question on a written examination. The challenge of a question must be
placed in writing using an Examination Challenge/ Appeals/Suggestion Form. This form must be
completed and turned into the proctor before the candidate leaves the testing area and forwarded to the
Division’s Certification Manager. Once the Division receives the challenge, it will be forwarded to a
committee for review. A decision will be made within 60 days of receipt of the challenge. The written
response will state the decision reached by the committee concerning the candidate’s inquiry or
challenge, and explain the reasons for that decision. If the candidate disagrees with the decision by the
committee, he/she may appeal the decision to the Director of the Division of Fire Prevention & Control.
The decision of the Director is final.
If you have any questions or require clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the Division of Fire
Prevention & Control at 303-239-4600.
