  • In this video I talk about everything that happens at Assessment Centre/Selection in the British Army, I give tips and pointers to help you get an A grade as I did so you get your start date on the day. I also talk about being diagnosed partially colour blind. I also discuss joining the Royal Military Police and Royal Irish Rangers and how I did on the bleep test and cognitive test.

    Thanks for the insight. Looking to go to selection in June for 4 Yorks. Even just been a reserve unit Can honestly say at 37 and been a bum for the last few years and letting my fitness dwindle, I was quite worried. This has been a massive help and now It's down to me to put the work in myself. Also congrats on passing and all the best for the future..

    I passed out Phase 1 last week, my advice is dont be a snowflake, you will get shouted at, told you're shit but just just get your head down and do as they say. If they say the sky is green you agree with them. Don't be a jack, be confident and make mates with everyone and keep on top of your admin. Put 100% in thats all they want. Surprisingly we didnt run that much and when we did it was only 2k. Try and get your time below 9.20 and you will be fine. Good luck lads 🇬🇧

    I went to glencourse barracks for my selection about a month back! I also got an A grade. Well done pal! My experience was very different as I went up the night before and stayed the night, was a good experience to be honest because it gave us an idea of what the next day would be like. We also got a couple of tests done the night before, so that was a relief as we only had the medical and the bleep test to complete until you get to your interview. I have to go for a hearing test next month and once that has been cleared up I get my start date, I still got my pass certificate though even though I failed that part of my medical. Good luck mate

    If you fail the second colourblind test you can still join, it just limits your job choice (no piloting, movement controller, sparky, etc.). Failing the Ishihara test (the first test, coloured circles with numbers) also limits your job choices somewhat I believe.

    • @OperatorKerri
      @OperatorKerri 3 роки тому

      @Scott Chegg Yes you can, most combat arms (infantry, cavalry, artillery,) are open if you fail both tests. Depending on how well you score on the rest of the recruitment process, some other roles can be opened up to you that you technically don't qualify for (the Major who did my final interview called my corps' recruiting cell and got me in despite not having sufficient colour vision for it)

    Well in on the selection process mucker. Great video and very thorough. For your info the colour blind test with the circles is the ishiharas test 🤓.
    So I joined in 1991.....and am still serving in one way or another.
    I'm a former PTI with a fair bit of experience, although I'd say I'm well out of date with selection testing and the like.
    You've chosen the Royal Irish so I'm sure you've done your research with what will be expected with you fitness wise.....for example loaded marches, boot runs. Have you started any training for this? Do you have any military type boots( I heard you mention you were ex military college or something similar)
    Let's face it from Newport you have a great training facility known as the beacons up the road!
    Good luck for the future, I'm sure you will smash it looking at your 7 P's.
