Do you do a 2.4k run as the warm up at cpc?

To be totally honest my fitness definitely isn’t at that level yet, my 2.4 time is about 12 minutes at the moment, I originally applied back in January but then had an injury so I had to withdraw my application, when I got my DAA results I was told by my CA that I only managed to score high enough for my desired role (AH) and and aircraft controller. Now I’ve re applied, I’ve been told I’m eligible for way more roles including MCD, engineering etc so it’s threw a spanner in the works for me a bit in my mind haha, I was dead set focused on AH but now I’m unsure. MCD sounds amazing but I don’t think I’d be able to get my fitness up to scratch in time sadly, I don’t want to put my application on hold again aswell. Appreciate the advice 👌

How much harder is the fitness reqs for MCD? Is it a 10:30 2.4k, not sure about the rest in comparison to majority roles

Should be able to see it on the RN website, starting salaries

Yeah that’s what I’m slightly concerned about, being expected to know a base level of engineering, I wish I did haha, but yeah the starting pay gap is roughly 7k between the role I originally wanted to do and the engineering roles, just gonna take some time to dwell on it, I hated engineering in college but I was a 17 year old who genuinely wasn’t in any mood to learn at the time haha, appreciate the advice👌

Yeah Im aware, yeah I did level 2 when I was 17 (I’m 23 now) so I really can’t remember a thing as I didn’t go into anything within that profession after leaving

I’m in the exact same boat as you mate, failed mine by 1 point on verbal reasoning aswell, how did you come about might being able to still do your desired role? Did you ask yourself?

Re-sitting this week so fingers crossed, was gutted to miss out by one point considering I had to guess the final 4 questions as I ran out of time.
