Train for the Physical Competency Assessment

As part of physical training at AFP College, recruits are required to complete the Physical Competency Assessment (PCA) on up to three occasions, including on entry, and prior to graduation. The PCA assesses fitness levels and ensures recruits are physically prepared for operational duties upon graduation.

The below downloadable exercise program is designed to prepare candidates for the physical demands and movement patterns of training, and assist in passing the PCA.

The videos below demonstrate each exercise included in the program.

Note: It is recommended to seek medical advice from your doctor or physio before starting an exercise program and working with a qualified fitness professional to assist with completing the program safety and effectively.
