Just wondering how long averagely you have to wait between passing the medical ( forms sent by GP) to attending Pre - ADSC / ADSC?
Thx

There is no definitive answer to that mate. It's all down to your recruiter and how he works. For example some of the people on my pre-ADSC course had ADSC the week after and had never done pre-ADSC before, yet my recruiter would not let me go to ADSC till I did well on pre-ADSC.

However, from what I have seen on this site, the average seems to be 3-5 weeks for the medical to go through, some shorter, some longer. Bearing in mind this is if everything is fine, I was stuck on my medical for a good 3-4 months due to complications.

I was booked to go on a pre-ADSC course 2-3 weeks after my medical was confirmed. So, depending if you have had your second interview or if your recruiter wants you to go to pre-ADSC before putting you in for ADSC you will be waiting a while.

However I can say that after passing Pre-ADSC things have gone really fast for me, I passed it last week, had my 2nd interview today and they reckon I will be going ADSC 1st/2nd week in May.

Hope this answers your question mate.

Hehe, defiantly not a bad choice, when I applied my fitness was terrible and was up until I did my first Pre-ADSC, big eye opener for me. Hopefully though mate if it took 5 months last time, it wont take anywhere near that long this time, good luck!

Different places do it differently, at the end of the day order is irrelevant.

Who's fault is that then?
Of course you can run 1.5 miles for christ sake, even if it is slow
