Right lads basically the first day you arrive by 17.00 then have to fill in a questionnaire by 21.00. Its about you as a person like your interests, hobbies, same stuff really as per usual.
Right on the second day you get woke at 6.00am then you have got the luxery of four hours worth of exams ...

Alright lads, after having passed my POC with flying colours I attempted the dreaded AIB!!! Basically it did not go very well at all. The colonal who briefed me at the end said my leadership was my strong point but I got a very low score on all the academic stuff and on the discussion exercise when ...

Alright lads, just woke up after a heavy night on the town celebrating!!
The warm ups you do really do get the blood circulating and can leave you gasping for breath, but an idea I had before my POC was to build a thorough warm up into your training. Do like a minute of knees up or 5 sec sprints ...

Hi guys, Right listed below is the training I endured to get fit:

Hello all you POC candidates, I have just got back to uni after passing my Potential Officers Course. Anyone who wants any honest info on what to expect get in touch.

You will probably have to wait at least a few weeks, even a month before an interview. When were you looking to join Peds? :microwave:

What courses did you both do at uni? Im at Reading Uni doing Sport Leadership, predominatly because I wanted to develop my leadership ability for the corps because I wasnt very good or confident at speaking to large numbers of people. Its not that i am shy I am just not loud, but my course has ...

Alright Dave. I haven't got the foggiest clue whether you will be able to get in for the september batch. You should be quite fit from being in the TA so nine weeks training should bring you up to scratch for the POC. That a shame bout not taking advantage of the bursary but its understandable, I ...

I like to run in boots only once a week but I dont do long distances in them I leave that to do in trainers. In boots id just jog 2 or 3 mile, times were not great, but Im trying to still break them in cz most of the physical at the POC is done in boots so i want to feel comfortable about running in ...

Ive been doing serious training for the last ten weeks, where I have really gone for it big time. Ive been doing runs in boots to which has been benifical. I have not done the bleep test for over a year and then iz only getting level 12, nothing spectacular. I am looking to get a minimum of 8 pull ...

Hi ya I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who has their POC the same week as me, starting the 10th March? If anyone wants to consult and compare training methods too that would be helpful or just a general talk about what to expect. Look forward to your replies. Si :grab:
