The CTS Promotional Interview Coach is a powerful custom GPT built specifically for fire service promotional candidates who want to walk into their oral board prepared, confident, and ready to compete.
This digital access guide shows candidates how to open and use the Coach inside ChatGPT. Once accessed, users can practice realistic promotional interview questions, sharpen their leadership-based answers, receive structured feedback, and prepare for assessment-style promotional processes for ranks including Driver Engineer, Lieutenant, Captain, and Battalion Chief.
Unlike a simple question bank, the CTS Promotional Interview Coach is designed to act like a virtual promotional interview mentor. Candidates can answer realistic oral board questions and receive immediate feedback on how their response may be viewed by a panel.
