Frequently asked questions
What is the 999 call handler assessment?+
It's the online aptitude assessment used to recruit emergency call handlers and control room operators. It typically covers verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, situational judgement, memory and recall, prioritisation, and an audio typing exercise where you log a live call.
Are these practice tests really free?+
Yes. Every test on this page has a free demo with sample questions, and you don't need an account to try them — just pick a test and start. Full access unlocks the complete question banks for a one-off payment of £14.99.
Do I need to create an account to try the demo?+
No. The demos run instantly in your browser with no sign-up or card details required. You only create an account if you decide to buy full access.
How many times can I take the free demos?+
You can try up to five free demo attempts in total across the tests, and the Audio Typing demo can be tried once. Full access removes all limits so you can practice the complete banks as many times as you like.
Are these the exact questions used in the real assessment?+
No — these are original practice questions written in the same style and format as the real assessment. They're designed to help you get comfortable with the question types and timing, not to reproduce the live test.
Which emergency services use this assessment?+
Police, ambulance, and fire control rooms across the UK use similar call handler and contact-handling assessments. The skills these demos cover — accurate listening, judgement, and working with information under pressure — apply across all three.
