Hi all,
So its the chicken and egg situation:
Should you get your class 1 and then go to the skills assessments or vice versa? :confused:
2 x assessments (eg CTC and OAA) are in the same ball park as the 1st class 1 fee so doing the medical first could save you £400 odd quid if you fail on something permanent...
However, if you fail the assessment (assuming you’re not a total moron :ugh: and can improve in 6 months for a retake) your class 1 could be well on the way to being out of date before you actually join your FTC....:rolleyes:
Now for my situation:
I passed (RAF) OASC at 19/20 but didn't sign up. I'm now 34 and have a BMI of 33.2 :eek:(lard a$$! but I've lost a stone in 4 weeks :ok:so its going the right direction!). My eyes and blood pressure are all fine... so, do I bank on nothing going wrong in the 15 years since I was poked and prodded :ooh: for the forces and try to pass the assessments or should I play safe and get my bits checked again first?
Cheers
