Nah I think it was about 15 mins or so. I think it's just to make sure your not a head case. You'll be grand !

Anyone else get an offer? I just got mine at 4pm, starting 20th Jan (if I can leave my job :P)

Hi just wondering what OOM you were after the interview? I've everything done since before Christmas but still waiting on an offer. Hopefully it will come soon.

HR gave me two weeks notice for my PCT resit. Bit crappy considering its so soon after Christmas and they stressed that I'd be waiting the 12 weeks for the resit. I've been nursing an injury over Christmas so I haven't even been out training.
I emailed HR asking to postpone the resit until early March, which is when the 12 weeks would have originally ended, and I was told no I either take the 21st January or I'll be withdrawn from consideration.
Would it be worth sending a doctors note or would that disqualify me also?

Anyone have a number I can ring to check the status of my vetting? I have my PCT on Tuesday 14th.

Very harsh that, I'm in for retest on the 21st too, just gonna have to throw the kitchen sink at it on the day!

Hi all. New to the thread. Had the medical this morning and passed. Doubt I'll get an offer for January at this stage but I presume March would likely be the next intake realistically?

That’s abit much surely a doctor note or injury you would be able to defer it.
What are you repeating?

Congratulations - had my medical yesterday too but no call as of yet which makes me think January is off the table. You have a notice period to negotiate with work? What was our last oom?

Was anyone able to find the Loughborough 20 meter shuttle run - fitness assessment that they advise you to download? I have been using the BT Lite app and was just wondering if there was any difference in the Loughborough one?

Heard April. But stand to be corrected.

I was just wondering how everyone trained for the different components of the PCT. Mainly the beep test. I've been running consistently but still struggling to get to 8.8. Not sure if long distance runs are the best way to train for it but I'd appreciate any tips or tricks some of you may have. Also is there anything else I should be including in my workouts in order to successfully complete the other components. My pushups and sit ups are fine.

I measured out the 20m in my garden and just kept practicing bleep tests. There’s one on Spotify to use and that really helped me. I started off doing 5kms to build fitness then when I got my date for bleep tests I changed over to just doing bleep tests.
