Development of Promotional Examinations

2026-11-03

It is our preference that promotional examinations for the Fire Department include components which are consistent with validated promotional examinations administered to employees of other para - militaristic organizations within County Government . It is also our preference to use validated standardized examinations ; this method would require less maintenance each yearly promotional cycle and therefore should be less costly . Scheduled updates , study materials and additional forms are more readily available . We would like the Consultant to develop customized written multiple - choice 18 tests consistent with the I . F . S . T . A manuals , S . C . F . D . SOP manual , S . C . F . D . Rules & Regulations , Memorandum of Understanding w / Local 2585 and directly related to the knowledge , skills and abilities needed to perform at that level . Consultant will be responsible for recruiting assessors to participate in the promotional assessment process . Consultant will recommend a validation approach and a method for analyzing possible disparate or adverse impact . Estimated number of internal candidates that are expected to take the examination are as follows : Fire Battalion Chief ( 20 ), EMS Battalion Chief ( 7 ), Fire Lieutenant ( 34 ), EMS Lieutenant ( 34 ) and Driver ( 20 ).
