PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY (MD) CAPTAIN PROMOTIONAL PREP PROGRAM
Written Exam + Assessment Center Preparation

The J. Harris Academy Captain Promotional Prep Program is built specifically to help Prince George’s County candidates perform at a high level on both components of the promotional process—the written examination and the assessment center. This program is designed for serious candidates who want structure, strategy, and performance-based preparation that translates directly to test day.

What This Program Helps You Do
• Develop a focused study strategy tied to the exam announcement and tested sources
• Improve reading efficiency, retention, and recall under time constraints
• Learn how to answer like a Captain—clear, professional, policy-aware, and mission-driven
• Strengthen decision-making, prioritization, and leadership judgment in realistic exercises
• Build confident, organized responses that score well across multiple assessors

Written Exam Preparation
You’ll receive a structured approach to mastering the testable material, including strategies for identifying key information, organizing notes, and preparing efficiently. Practice resources are designed to reinforce comprehension and improve performance—not just “review content.”

Assessment Center Preparation
Captain candidates are evaluated on how they think, communicate, and lead under pressure. This program prepares you for common assessment center exercises such as:
• In-basket / prioritization exercises
• Oral board / structured interview responses
• Leadership scenarios and critical decision-making
• Professional communication and command presence
• Problem-solving with accountability, risk management, and organizational impact in mind

Designed for the Captain Role
Captain-level expectations go beyond supervision—you’re evaluated on leadership maturity, clarity of direction, operational awareness, and the ability to represent the organization well. This program helps you deliver answers and decisions that reflect that standard.

Who Should Attend
Prince George’s County candidates preparing for the Captain promotional process, including those who want a clear plan, realistic practice, and guidance tailored to the written and assessment center components.
