Firefighter Recruitment
PHS Readiness Workbook
Most Personal History Statement problems are reconstruction problems. Dates, addresses and employment history get assembled against a deadline, and the gaps only surface later, when they are far harder to explain. This workbook is the structure for doing that work properly, in your own time, before the form asks for it.
- Ten working documents
- Self paced
- Immediate access
“If you are looking to start a career in emergency services, this is where I would start.”

Scope
What the Workbook Does and Does Not Do
- It is not a set of answers to copy. The facts are yours; the workbook organizes them.
- It is not a review of your draft. That is the PHS Expert Review, a separate product.
- It is not advice on leaving anything out. Nothing in this workbook helps anyone conceal, minimize or reword a disclosure.
- Northline is independent. We do not screen, shortlist or hire for any fire department, and nothing bought here carries weight in any department's process.
- PHS requirements differ by department and change over time. Confirm current requirements and instructions with the department you are applying to.
