How long before NCACITC should the fitness evaluation (fv) occur?

The optimal timeframe for conducting the fitness evaluation (fv) prior to the National Cadet Aircrew Initial Training Course (NCACITC) is 1-2 weeks. This period is ideal as it allows candidates to adequately prepare and ensure that their fitness levels are at an appropriate standard without being too far removed from the training itself.

Conducting the fitness evaluation too far in advance can result in a misalignment between the evaluation and the actual physical demands of the NCACITC. If the evaluation occurs earlier than this suggested timeframe, candidates may not maintain their fitness levels, leading to a failure to effectively perform in the subsequent training courses. Therefore, keeping the evaluation within this 1-2 week window strikes a balance between ample preparation time and maintaining fitness relevancy for the upcoming course.
