NSmen IPPT (Part II)

This is the way to do it! I have done it at Maju Camp. So please do take note, only FCC are monetary and not the convenient SAFRAs near your home.

How to do it?
Booking of Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT)

Go to ns.sg portal, log in via SingPass or NS Portal ID. Choose your favourite FCC, your convenient date and train for it!

Each IPPT session easily have more than 100 participants. Therefore, do expect queues at the station and detailings for the 2.4km run.

Show your Identification Card at the IPPT counter inside to receive your Number Tag. The card holder behind is for your Identification Card. The changing room is just located beside the counter. The IPPT stations in Maju Camp are electronic systems.

Strategically think of your sequence of clearing the four static stations. Else, just go to the shortest queue, you have to clear all stations after all. To begin, place number tag at the appropriate place of your station. Your Tag No., Age Cat, Number of Count, Score will be display on the LED screen located in front of each station. All measurements/timings will be registered by the system automatically. Just observe the participants ahead of the queue.

The 5 Stations

1.     Chin-Up - A neutral (looks like PTI; Physical Training Instructor) will be there to ensure standards, such as straightening of elbows. Mount the bar via the side step.

2.     Sit-Up - Tighten your ankles by fastening the Velcro belt. Lie on your back against the mat. Once your back lift up, the recording will begin.

3.     4 * 10m Shuttle Run - Time will start once you pass the first line. Instead of picking wooden block, touch the metal strap sensor on the ground with your fingers.

4.     Standing Broad Jump - As there are no readings on the actual test mat, do gauge by using the practice mat available in front of the station. At the station, the system will begin once you leap off and display your distance once you land. Aim far and jump as far, not high, as you can.

5.     2.4km Run - Complete all four static stations before proceeding to the ground floor of the multistory car park for the 2.4km run, else your records will be void.

Shower facilities and lockers are provided. Bring your toiletries, towel and have a great NS-style shower after your test.
