As long as u can finish all 20 sessions on time, u will be ok.

Did u ask for the name of the staff who said that? It's to cover your backside just in case there is any dispute in the future.

Thanks for the info!

Oh i forgotten. I think i will call in on monday to make sure everything is in place. If there's no record then i think nothing can be done, just to blame myself for the mistake.

Can ask what's the latest change for IPPT?

Last year same time, I was doing IPPT, I manage to pass all my stations except SBJ.

Before my 2.4, I asked the PTI if I was able to reattempt as all my other results are in the passing grade. The PTI gave me the thumbs up. I failed the attempt and he asked me to try again, until the 4th attempt, I manage to get a pass for my 2013

Just a month ago, I went back to do my IPPT for 2014 window, I passed all my stations, except again, SBJ. This time round, the PTI refuses to give me reattempts even though I told him this is the only station I need to reattempt before I can pass.

In the end, I failed due to SBJ (200 cm) while the rest of my station pass.

Before taking my 2.4km, the PTI said those who fail 2 stations or more can go already. Those who fail 1 station or less will continue 2.4km.. This is quite new to me. Previously, there was no such announcements by the PTI.

I also notice the PTIs now are more strict and doesn't encourage people who are just borderline failing to push them to pass... :s22:

must i take ippt before this date? when i went to ns portal to check about ippt this is what they say


You have NOT TAKEN your IPPT yet.

a) You may ATTEMPT and PASS your IPPT by XX/04/2014. Your IPPT window will start from XX/07/2014 onwards.

b) You are strongly encouraged to sign up for IPT if you need additional help to train for your IPPT. The first session must commence before XX/01/2014.

c) Please update your contact nos/email on e-SelfUpdate so that you can be informed via SMS if there is any change to your current IPPT requirement.

you must take 3 months before your birthday if you have not complete your cycle.

Now cannot play "cheat" like that time, train one time take 2 ippt of 2 years, hence there is a 3 months prior breaks before your birthday.

Just ord??? If yes, you are in year zero. It's optional to take your ippt for this window.

Just want to confirm with the veterans here something I got from FCC via phone.
1) IPT PPT target is still valid during last 3 months for RT-IPPT or Non-ICT IPPT*. Meaning if I clear the PPT target during RT-IPPT or non-ict IPPT then case closed?
* Can only book Non-ICT IPPT after attending a few RT sessions.

Short story is sick for few weeks and unable to clear PPT target in time, although if healthy can clear one.

You must complete the full 10 sessions of IPT for your PPT to be valid for your RT period.

Yes, I believe is after 3 RT sessions.

No need.

But if you never go for IPT, you need to clear 20 RT in 12 weeks. That's 1-2 times a week.

wake up smell the kopi






i injured my arm play basketball. turn up for IPPT late after work plus injured knee. PTIs & clerks told me nvm, just sit this one out and book another slot again. Confirm nothing will happen one. they should know better so ok i trust them.

I went home, fix my mind to recover my injury then few days later receive letter. letter say I am charge for defaulting IPPT. call the NS hotline. outsourced. their answers very bleak. regretted calling them.

now in two minds whether one to turn up for charge or get a lawyer to dispute the charge against me.

i cannot wait to apply for my canadian citizenship. seriously.

No need. You can book any day you want but must have 1 day rest in between, so 1 week at most 3 sessions. As long as you can complete within the time frame, you will be ok.

This is just a small matter. If you want to blow it up, you could be throw in DB instead of just getting a reprimand or fine. :s22:

And if you choose last min to take your IPPT, you can only blame yourself if you got injured at that time.

Not his problem. The Officer asked he not to take. So its NS problem.

So like this any tom dick and harry will get charge.

The officer didn't say don't take but take at a later date. But if he is already late and fail to attempt once in his window, then it's his problem.

Like I said, it's a small problem which he will just get reprimand or fine. Go find lawyer and challenge, incur higher fees and heavier punishment, use common sense also know not worth it.

if you got MC, just turn up for charge and they should waive it off or reduce the fine.

you are wrong.

the officer is right to not allow him to take as he is injured on that day, in fact you are not supposed to take ippt if you have any outstanding MC or MC taken within 3 days.

and the informal information given by the PTIs and clerks are right, usually 1st timers are only given reprimands.

It is his problem because he is given 9 months to take his IPPT and he chose to take it at the absolute last minute, so how can you say its NS problem?

as the others have raised, if you engage lawyer to go against this charge, you are asking for it as in legal wise, is 100% lose.

furthermore, 1st charge is like $150 and usually can be waived and reprimanded only if u give a good reason and show some remorse., u wan to engage lawyer over this amount?

if i'm OP, i will calm down and go answer the charge and get it over and done with.

nice variety of opinions

Talking to them is like talking to the wall. and now with the PTI office being outsourced to a security company, basic intellectual level has gone down so low to the drain level. btw it was not officer, it was a group of outsourced fitness trainers and some DXOs.

Go find lawyer and challenge, incur higher fees and heavier punishment, use common sense also know not worth it.

the only mistake I made was waiting till the end to attempt the IPPT. damn it. i had too many things going for me. you would't believe me if i told you. :(

if you got MC, just turn up for charge and they should waive it off or reduce the fine.

i don't have an MC. if i possess that high level of foresight don't you think I would have gone to see specialist to downgrade permanently? bottomline is I'm fit as a fiddle, i don't want to take shortcut by feigning injury when I'm fine apart from this niggling injury which will heal in time to come.

you are wrong. if i'm OP, i will calm down and go answer the charge and get it over and done with.

i give you credit on your point that I should not have waited till the end to attempt the IPPT. its my fault and my fault alone.

when you ask the PTI and clerks, did you tell them that this is your very first IPPT attempt within your 9 months IPPT window and that your 9 months window is going to close really soon?
