⚠️ Update as of 2025:

The Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) is no longer the default entrance exam for all applicants. Most new recruits now complete the Scored Employment Application Form (SEAF) earlier in the process.

However, the CFAT may still be required later — especially for specific trades or officer paths.

✔️ If your recruiter has directed you to write the CFAT, this program will help you prepare with confidence. Alternatively, if you have passed basic training and ready to write the CFAT for internal purposes, this program will help you land a higher ranking career path.
