Early Medical?

My 16 year old lad has had his heart set on becoming Officer Aircrew for a long time. His whole life for the last 4 years has been geared around achieving it, much to his credit.
He has got 9 A grade GCSE's, is studying 4 A-levels, is a Flt Sgt in air cadets and is a solo glider pilot.

All good so far. However, he has turned into a lanky git, standing at 6'2" already. He is acutely aware there are limits on limb length etc. and the self doubt is starting to creep in. He has said on a couple of occasions he doubts he will pass the medical and he is starting to distance himself from his dream to avoid heartbreak.

So my question is this, is it possible to have an early sizing medical, either military or civvy, so he knows one way or the other?
