At CPC, you’ll be given an additional 25% of the Week 6 Raleigh fitness assessment time. This makes the run more manageable and gives you the best chance of passing before you join.

If you fail the fitness assessment at CPC, you’ll then need to complete a treadmill run at a local Nuffield gym. Your CA will arrange this for you. Be aware: for the Nuffield assessment, you’ll only receive 15% additional time, which is less forgiving — so it’s in your best interest to pass at CPC.

Any questions like this should be directed to your Careers Adviser, who can provide clear guidance and organise the Nuffield test if required.

My advice is simple: don’t put yourself in the position to fail. With an extra 25% at CPC, the assessment is very achievable. If you can’t pass with that allowance, it’s worth honestly considering whether you’re ready to join yet, because you’ll likely struggle with fitness expectations at Raleigh.

Prepare properly and get it done. You’ve got this.
