    Hey all Well done to everyone who passed today I’m sure you are all over the moon, and for those who didn’t all the best for the next time round, have mine coming up soon, and I’m honestly more nervous about it than I was the AC. This is probably going to sound like a stupid question but what sort of level of fitness had you all going in to it? It says on the website for one of the training sessions running 5km aiming for 5 minutes per kilometre, and whilst I can just about manage this i am absolute toast afterwards. Went for a 3 mile run the other morning and felt sweet until the next day when I felt like someone had been using my knee as a trampoline hahaha, a bag of frozen peas carrots etc set up camp on it for the remainder of the evening.

    Fitness really depends on yourself and your current training.
    I passed PCA with a good time and never trained for running on the run up to the PCA.
    Give me 5mins sparring or rolling in the mats, or a circuit and I'm fine. 5 mins running and you may get the defib out for me lol.
    Train for the actual event. There isn't actually that much running in the PCA.

    Haha I totally get you, boxed for a few years there myself (have slacked off the past 6 months or so stupidly) and wasn’t too bad fitness wise when sparring or doing bag work but when it came to abit of road work I was done haha. Thanks for everyone’s input, going to just mix it up I think and hope for the best.

    I would say I am genuinely unfit and I passed by a large amount. But that was due to no mistakes and me going absolute hell for leather.

    Id say if you could reach 6.5 on a 15m bleep test you could do that course in 3 min 54 at max effort.

    Less bragging you lol. Some of us trained really hard lol...... Not that it's a competition (winky emoji)

    Haha I re read my post and it does look a touch elitist I apologise, wasnt my intention.

    Just meant to give those with lesser fitness confidence that it absolutely can be done! But why make it harder for yourself?

    Get fit guys.

    Ps: reported that other user.

    OK - not giving them the oxygen of leaving any reference up either in posts, quotes or references, so you will see a load of posts and the fantasist in question have disappeared

    No need to refer to them - that's all they are looking for

    Thanks

    So, recently passed the PCA as well.

    My main question is should I have received info regarding the online learning by now? How long after passing should the online learning be available?

    RE: PCA

    If you can lift your own weight with ease, run a few miles with ease and keep your balance you'll be sweet.

    Everyone comes out tired, but that's because everyone is going flat out so regardless of your fitness level you'll be tired. Do not pace yourself. It's a little under 4 minutes of your life, beast it.

    When did you pass the pca? I think you get your medical date a few days after you passed and the online learning sound the same time. Others can confirm this.

    PCA was passed this week, medical date recevied, just no sign of online learning as of yet.

    I assume its by email as with everything else?

    No worries, I assumed it was sent same day as passing PCA. No shortage of waiting around in this process!

    I'll give it a day or two before I think about contacting HR.

    If those of us who passed this week as well are posting about getting the online learning then maybe call. If not, I'd just hold up and wait.

    From what I remember, I think around 350 was the cut off for last group of PCA dates. If I’m wrong others can correct me.
