The CBPO Candidate Physical Readiness Program is approximately three hours of training dedicated to improving and maintaining physical fitness. The CBPO Candidate Physical Readiness Program is a standardized training program designed to help candidates stay ready for basic training and successfully pass the CBP Officer Fitness Graduation Standard (FGS). The physical training program is a 150-day training program broken down into five phases. Each phase is 30 days in duration and builds on the fitness developed in the previous phase.
