At what point in the process do I need to schedule the physical ability test (PAT)?

Applicants must pass the TEAS test to proceed to the Physical Ability Test (PAT). The PAT is required for those who do not possess a CPAT certificate with a date of passing within the past 12 months from February 1, 2020. Applicants who pass the PAT will be eligible for an oral board interview. Proof of successful completion of the PAT is required to move forward in the process.
