PRE-REGISTRATION
Before you complete the pre-registration process
The pre-registration process is for new hires and active-duty paramedics. If you are returning-to-work following an absence from the workplace, please contact us.
To complete the pre-registration process you will need a valid credit card. Candidates must submit credit card payment information at the time of pre-registration to secure their testing day and time.
The cost of the testing is: $312.50 + 40.62 (HST) = $353.12
PRE-REGISTERING FOR YOUR OPPAT™ TEST
Candidates must pre-register for their OPPAT™ test. Please use the following link to access the pre-registration portal https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=13334613
Please note – your pre-registration appointment is ONLY a placeholder and is NOT the date/time/ location of your actual confirmed scheduled test. The pre-registration request form will take 3-5 business days to be processed, at which time your appointment status will be changed to “waitlisted” or “confirmed”. Confirmed scheduled appointments will contain the date/time/location of your actual scheduled OPPAT™ test. After you pre-register for an appointment, please complete the required forms and prepare for your testing appointment. If you have further questions, consult the FAQ.
