    Hey,

    I have just passed my medical and fitness - I got a call yesterday from my AFCO stating they were waiting for my references and could I ask them to return them ASAP so they could request a place for my PRTC - so I have no idea when I am going. When I had my interview they said there were possible dates for the 25th July.

    I think they do it by trade, because when he was looking up the dates he had to scroll to Medic (what I have applied for).

    What trade are you looking at?

    I'm booked in for the 11th July.

    Just read this in the email they sent:

    "P-RTCs on 11 July 2012 and Subsequent Courses

    You are required to arrive the evening prior to your course at the RTS Graduation Visitors entrance to RAF Halton between 1530 hours and 1700 hours."

    So we go up on the tuesday and stay the night there? will have to call the AFCO to confirm this.

    Look forward to seeing you there noble. You ready?

    You will have to go through the security vetting process first bud, mine took just under 7weeks from completing the forms to about an hour ago.
    keep training.

    You do NOT need to have the security returned in order to be granted a place on PRTC. You'll be allocated in due course.

    Ah, yes. But it still has to be processed. Mine has said 'Completed' on the DVA website for over 5weeks but it still hasnt been returned. Despite that, they did book me in last minute to PRTC on the 11th July.
    So expect a bit of a wait.
    .
    Thanks for the thumbs down. :cool:

    Yeah When I had my interview they said possible dates for April! It's been 7 month since then and I'm only just going down next week and I'm going in as supplier (hopefully) how about you?

    Southampton, so not too far to drive.
    Think going the night before is a better thing, id rather get the fitness done in the morning after breakfast than after a few hours sat in a train/car.

    Same here, ive got a lot of catching up to do for those key skills tests, i only got the call from my AFCO on monday afternoon to say im down Halton on the 11th, so cramming in as much fitness and revision as i can. trying to quit the smoking, but it isnt helping with the anxiety.

    I found it to be fine, however people did fail on it. The key is to prepare. Get fit - which I'm sure you are - but practice the test itself until you feel confident with it. Also when your doing the test, as it gets harder - push it.
