As per provincial guidelines, anyone interested in a policing career must write the Alberta Police Cognitive Ability Test (APCAT).
The Alberta Police Cognitive Abilities Test is a job-related written examination. Applicants are given a pre-test booklet during the examination and are allowed to study it for 30 minutes. The pre-test booklet is then removed and the test is administered over the next two hours and 15 minutes. The result of this test is valid for five years.
Candidates may rewrite the APCAT if they did not achieve the cut-score one month (30 days) after their first test attempt, three (3) months after their second test attempt, and six (6) months after each subsequent test attempt.
If interested in taking the APCAT in Grande Prairie please fill out the form below and a recruiter will be in contact with available dates.
