Eligibility for the eight-week reduction in full-time NS duration is assessed based on pre-enlistees’ medical fitness. Pre-enlistees will be informed of their eligibility when receiving their medical screening results. Eligible pre-enlistees will only be granted an eight-week reduction in NS duration if they attain 61 points or more in their Pre-Enlistee IPPT (PE IPPT), with a minimum of one point for each IPPT station.

Pre-enlistees will need to attain this result at least two weeks before the Physical Training Phase (PTP) enlistment in order to qualify for direct basic training. PE IPPT results are valid for one year after the test.
