ACT and APCAT Testing

Applicants are required to successfully complete these tests prior to taking the Alberta Physical Readiness Evaluation for Police Officers (A-PREP). The ACT is designed to assess ability to communicate in writing and the APCAT is a job-related written examination. You no longer need to have submitted an application prior to writing exams.

The Edmonton Police Service Recruit Selection Unit is offering written test dates on select Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays. All  written tests will be facilitated at various locations, by two Recruit Selection Unit Constables. Please note the following:

• Exam location will be provided to you about a week prior via email.

• There is a maximum of 15 participants per exam.
