FAILURES/RE-TESTS


​Should an applicant not successfully pass every event, they will be required to attend the very next PRA session and re-test only the events which they did not pass. If an applicant attempts the re-test and fails, or does not take advantage of the re-test opportunity, they will no longer be considered for the position and will need to submit a new application and restart the application process once six (6) months have passed from your last written exam.
