Fitness Test for Ontario Correctional Officer Applicants (FITCO) - Test

FITCO is the physical skills and abilities test for the Correctional Officer Staff Application, Recruitment and Training Program. The test is a controlled simulation of the occupational requirements for corrections officers in Ontario.

 

There are four separate components to the FITCO test: a screening component to ensure your medical readiness and three performance components to assess your physical capability: search station, emergency response circuit and the aerobic shuttle run.
