Oral Exam Preparation Schedule
Captain's Candidates
Captain's Candidates
Our comprehensive review for the Captain's oral examination will be scheduled once the written exam date is set by the NJ CSC. Captain's candidates receive an extra whole-day class on how to specifically prepare and respond to this portion of the exam. Additionally, FOUR one-on-one PRIVATE practice sessions are scheduled that simulate the exam time and format. Each candidate will receive feedback from an assessor and have the ability to privately review their presentation after the session.
The class dates and private session schedule for Captain candidates will be scheduled once the written exam date is announced. This portion of the course is tentatively scheduled between the date of the written exam (tentatively October of 2026) and the date of the oral exam (tentatively December of 2026).
Captain's candidates who register for the ONLINE ONLY classes will still be scheduled for the Captain's oral prep private practice sessions as in-person classes.
The dates, times and location of the Captain's oral prep private practice sessions will depend on the size of the candidate pool and actual exam dates set by Civil Service.
