I have to do it in few weeks, but I don’t know which date yet.
Please, could you give me any details about the fitness/beep test? Are they very strict to do in up to level 5.4? Any tips from your experience?

[amoss93]

Yes , if you don’t make it you fail . No chance

 

[rhuss69]

I done it not long ago so you get three chances to make up for the missed bleep during the actual bleep test if you don’t make it back after the 3 chances they give you then it becomes a fail.

Yh it’s been the worst for me too, I just started a self employed rail job recently just to keep me busy until then . I’ve never seen a job application take so so slow and in the end it’s not guaranteed
