Selection day; 29th of January 2014

Hey,

Has anyone else applying for Paramedic Science received their invitation yet?

And does anyone who may have been to one before know what to expect? I know there will be a literacy and numeracy test and if successful an interview in the afternoon...

I'm very nervous about this because I've heard that a lot of people who apply are usually older and with a lot of experience (such as already qualified nurses and care professionals). :s-smilie:

Thanks,
Jed

That would be great! I heard you have to do a fitness test. Is it true? :L

I've heard that as well, although it didn't say that we would be doing one on the letter I received. I can't imagine it being a fitness test at Army standards though because a lot of Paramedics I see are mahoosive anyway!

yeah aha, when I went to the open day there apparently you have to do the bleep test and be able to lift a certain amount, aswell as a grip strength. Apparently the grip strength is what most girls fail on! I refuse to fail on it:biggrin:


I didnt see anything about it in the letter I received either!
