(Updated) Physical test (functional course and fitness test) and shooting test

Both physical and shooting tests will be organised at the same location (close to Mons in Belgium) over one day. Testing period will be from mid-June 2019 to end of July. As per the Notice of Competition, instructions for both tests will be in the language 2 of the candidate. A. SHOOTING TEST The shooting test aims at testing the abilities in safe handling of firearms and marksmanship of candidates. The shooting tests will be conducted with a Glock 19 handgun. Ear protection and eye protections will be provided in the test center. The candidates will first be asked to go through safety handling procedures. If the handling is done in a safe manner, the instructors admit the candidate to the shooting test. The safety handling exercise will be followed by a practice session. The candidates will be allowed to practice at a distance of 10m and will receive 10 practice cartridges to shoot on a new target. The actual shooting test (shooting on a target from a standing position only) will then start on a new target: two different shooting tests are foreseen at a maximum distance of 10 metres. Candidates are requested to do each test in a given limited time. Detailed information will be given to candidates before the beginning of each shooting session. B. PHYSICAL TESTS The physical test will be composed of two tests: B1. Fitness test (Beep test) B2. Functional course (including strength test) B.1. BEEP TEST The beep test involves running continuously between two lines that are 20 m apart from side to side. The runs are synchronized with a pre-recorded audio file, which plays beeps at set intervals. Each step lasts about 1 minute and the pace is increased at each level of 0.5 km / h.
