I wrote my CFAT test withn the last year and was rejected.
I completed the test,then spoke to a recruiting officer she told me i was unsuccessfully and that the cut off was 18 and my mark was 15.
I'm 22 yrs old i have my grade 12 diploma,I have my 1 yr Diesel Repair Ind and Marine trade certificate, I also have experience operating various peaces of heavy equipment,and recently graduated and received my Heavy equipment operators certificates.
I chose MSEOP Mobile support equipment operator,and Armoured equipment operator and Veichle tech theses where my choices.
According to my CFAT testing turns out I'm not suited or qualify for this type of work,alltho at the time of testing i held a NSCC Nova Scotia community college 1 year Diesel Repair Industrial and Marine certificate and over 1000 hours operating heavy construction equipment,but because i didn't know what some bullshit words meant and am not great at math my mark was 15 and not 18 or higher but allready had the skills and experience under my belt for the trades i applied for.
Alos i race and ride dirtbikes freestyle moto cross and can launch a Dirtbike over a 80 FT gap and bang off 40 pushups like its a joke.
I am currently seeking work in the construction Industry threwout Canada and the US.Minimum wage rate for my skill level and experience $18 hr. with out dodgeing bullits. alltho i was pumped to join.
I have heard many stories of skilled educated individuals who are unsucsessfull at this test but have the skills experience and training certificates.
that test is bullshit
