Testimonials

Thank you for your work in preparing me for my department’s recent Lieutenant test. With almost 1000 people competing for roughly 175 positions, I had some serious competition. Not only did I enjoy working with you very much, but your insight to promotional exams and how to study for my departments specific style of testing was both accurate and invaluable. Additionally, the private coaching sessions that I did with you prior to each phase of the exam, allowed me to walk into the test confident and prepared. I have no doubt that working with you played a large role in my successful promotion.

Boy how time flies. Since we first worked toward my Lieutenant’s exam a few short years ago, I am pleased to say that your coaching helped me achieve my goal of becoming a Fire Captain with SFFD. And most recently I was promoted to Assistant Deputy Chief. Thank you for all of your help and support.

Chief Lepore is an outstanding person both professionally and personally.  I have been able to make a good friend along my path through my career advancement when I met him some time ago.  I was learning on my own but looking for guidance to step up my game and better myself to be a better leader in the fire service.  After all, it was my goal to become a captain in an organization and in this role there is a variety of training available.

Chief Lepore assisted me with all the aspects and questions I had.  He is very knowledgeable and also patient with those that are eager to learn the job.  He will fine tune the areas that need work, give assignments in areas that need to be learned, and root for you along the entire road to the end.  He is loyal to his friends and clients with the true want to help you succeed.  I like the fact that he lets the learner take control of what to review while also suggesting topics to cover and pointing the direction to go.

He is dedicated and will put in as much time as you need, but he must see that you are also genuine and truly wanting to achieve a higher level of understanding.  Chief Lepore is great at explaining topics and issues in a manner that is easy to grasp and exactly tailored to real life.  The reason why he can slow down, take a step back, and break things down is because he has been in your shoes before.  He understands what it takes and what is expected of those individuals who seek to promote into higher positions.

With his experience in both large and small departments, he has come across many scenarios both on the fire ground and at the station that will relate to events that take place in your own department.  These very events are things that will be tested during a promotional exam.  He trains you for the job itself, not just a test.  He makes you think in a manner that is expected of an officer.  I highly recommend those individuals that want to have a better understanding of tactics and strategies, personality problem solving, and discipline procedures, to reach out to him for guidance.  What you put into your training is what you will get out of your performance.  Chief Lepore will assist you in reaching the level you need to be at in order to be a competitive candidate for the position you are seeking.
