Hey guys, i got my fitness approaching and am looking for advice. The test as far as im aware is: Pull 35kg Pull 34kg lvl 5.4 @ 15m bleep test 40kg Grip Test The bleep test im not worried about. Grip test is 50/50, just practicing squeezing a tennis ball hard and long as i can. However im not that built so on push/pull. I can bench 32kg atm and pull around 30kg. I got 4 weeks left until my fitness test and am just looking for advice on how to beable to bench and pull 40-45kg before then so im confident that i can pass. Thanks in advance

Hello, I passed all three of the SETs on monday but have since been told that I was unsuccessful in passing the rest of the two day assessment. My question is, when I reapply will I need to sit the tests again or do the passes stay with me forever? thanks

hi all newbie here who would really appreciate some advice. i have passed everything and been given a potential start date to start training as a police constable for South Yorkshire. The only thing ive not done yet is the fitness test. ive been training for a couple of months and the test is not likely to be until just before my start date of July 2010. the bleep test i can pass. the pull part i can pass but im seriously worried about the push test. at the gym i am training on a chest press. i can only push 28kg, not the required 34kg. ive tried to go up to 35kg and i find it impossible. i am a women of 38, with reasonable fitness levels. How can i get to 34kg withou…

As the title suggests, recently had an application accepted but now have to wait til October for an assessment centre date (due to government funding cuts). I got a feedback form from Suffolk and got an overall A grade for the application, but I got a D on effective communication. This is my weakest area as I tend to ramble a bit and sometimes hesitate when trying to explain something. Are there any techniques I can use to correct this? As all my application answers are very strong, but when it comes to the A/C I want to be able to talk in a concise manor during the interview part of the day. Any help guys?

I have an interview coming up with North Yorks to transfer from West Yorks...any ideas what to expect? Cheers!

Hi all, My name is Andy Taylor, In Jan this year (10)I recently applied for the post of PC within Lincs Police. I was successful and I passed the papersift. Next stage is the assessment centre in Coventry. 4 months down the line I still havent heard anything about attending the assessment centre. I have rang and they assure me I havent been forgotten about. Rather then hassling the recruiters all the time I thought I would pop a post on here and see if anybody else can shed light on how long I could be waiting. Thanks for your time. Andy

Just heard on another thread that someone heard from GMP recruitment that they may be opening up in September! Has anyone else heard anything about this happening?

Hi, I passed the Tulliallan 2 day assessment a couple of weeks ago and I'm just about to post back my medical forms. Does anyone know how quick it is until the interview date? (L&B in this case) And from then, is it normally a few weeks until the medical? Essentially what I'm asking is when would be the likely start time at Tulli, IF everything was to go to plan with no hiccups, based on other applicants' timescales recently? I know it could be a "how long is a piece of string" question, as there must be different intakes at Tulli, with different numbers and ratios of each force in them.
