    from what i see on here some people are waiting up to 18 months some even longer to get a shout after completing all their tests so I wouldn't jump the gun with giving notice to an employer yet

    Can anyone tell me what's the best way to get the passport photo onto the form b. Is it best to print out the page and rescan it or digitally add the passport photo onto the page.

    Printing it out is the easiest because you have to print out the last page aswell to sign it

    Ok thanks a million. I wonder do they accept the first and last page as two separate pdfs along with the rest of the form. Do you know is that office open this week where the forms are getting sent to. Such a time of year to be at this craic, the selection boxes are off limits until the end of January in my house anyways ðŸ˜

    Sorry to be a dose on Christmas Eve but my Form B is due for submission on Friday December 27th. Can O submit all 15 pages as separate attachments ? I won’t be able to submit it any other way as I won’t have access to a stationery shop before Friday.

    For sit-ups in pct, can we have our arms crossed over chest or do they have to be behind our head?

    The standard is, the instructor will stand on your feet, palms of your hands on your thighs and knuckles must go over your knees. I think you can get a video on YouTube

    Hi guys, I'm wondering would somebody be able to answer these questions?

    How long after the form b is submitted should I expect the form for the gp?

    Do I need to get the gp form signed in person, I work out of the country a lot and I wonder could it be done via an email with my gp?

    Are you giving much time to warm up before the shuttle run or do they get you to do a few laps to get you ready?

    When your doing the 2nd part of the fitness test. Are you on your own on the course or is there a group doing it at the same time and say each person gets a minute head start ahead of the next person?

    Thanks in advance for any replies

    Does anyone know if there strict on letting people defer the PCT? And if they do defer it do you know how long it takes to get called again? Also does anyone know how strict they are on the 35 sit ups. Like do you have to come all the way up?

    To my knowledge, you can't defer unless you have a sick note from your doctor or serious family thing like a death

    Hi can’t answer the form questions, but for the physical, for the shuttle run it depends on what group you are in. You’ll either get a few minutes to stretch or as long as the other groups take to do it.

    With the course 2 will be doing the lap with a 3rd on standby. When the 1st person finishes they go in for the push/pull test then the waiting person starts the laps. This again will depend on your group and lane number on when you go in.

    Hi guys, I sent my gp clearance on the 24th was due the 27th,has anyone heard about their pct who's deadline for clearance was also the 27th? I'm going away from the 13th to the 15th so I'm worried I'll get called around that time.

    Just another question, do we get a choice over sate and time of the pct like stage 1 and 2 through public appointments or do they give us a set time and date for the pct?

    Do you get an acknowledgement e-mail or anything when you submit your form B ? I submitted mine on the 25th, it was due the 27th. Haven’t heard anything.

    Your pct will be on a Saturday and is a set date. You need to be at the college for 9am on the date given and should be finished around 1

    No the only receipt or acknowledgement you get is the gp clearance form which is sent a few weeks after form b
