[*][b] About IPPT Preparatory
Training (IPT)
IPT is a voluntary program to assist NSmen to pass their IPPT,
catering for NSmen who are willing to invest their time and
commitment to undergo formal PT sessions in their attempt to pass
IPPT. IPT is conducted only at Bedok and
Khatib Fitness and Conditioning Centres (FCC).
[*]IPT Program
Structure
IPT is a 5-week training program.
It provides differentiated training packages for individual NSmen
to overcome their weak areas in physical fitness. NSmen would be
coached on the training methodology to improve their performance in
IPPT as well as lectures in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
It is conducted twice a week, each
session being 3 hours in duration.
[*]IPT
Schedules
There are 3 new IPT schedules available every 5 weeks at the 2 FCCs
for NSmen to select from. The schedules are differentiated by the
training sessions timing. This will enable NSmen to choose a time
slot and location to suit their personal and work commitments.
NSmen will remain in their selected schedule at the chosen FCC for
the whole duration of his IPT.
[*]Schedule
Sessions
Timing of Sessions (hours)
Monday, Wednesday 1900-2200
Monday, 1900-2200, Saturday 1630-1930
Tuesday, Thursday 1900-2200
[*]Booking
System
NSmen would be able to book an IPT slot, using the same booking
system used for booking non-ICT IPPT slots. They will have the
option to book IPT schedules within 9 months of their current IPPT
window. This would enable NSmen who could not pass their IPPT at
the end of IPT to continue their own training, applying the
training methodology to improve on their performance and thus
maximizing the knowledge gained during the IPT.
[*]IPT
Eligibility
NSmen who are eligible to book for their non-ICT IPPT in the NS
IPPT Booking System would also be eligible for IPT. Those who did not passed their IPPT for their
previous IPPT window would have to attend RT before they could
subscribe for IPT.
NSmen aged 35 years and above MUST be medically screened for IPPT
before he can booked for IPT. This would enable the NSman to
attempt his IPPT during the IPT.
[*]NS Liability and
Pay
Participation in IPT is strictly voluntary. NSmen on IPT would not
be paid Service or Make-up Pay, except for the 8th session which is
an IPPT. Attendance at the IPT would also NOT count towards the
NSman annual NS of 40 days except for the 8th session (IPPT).
However, all IPT sessions attended would be recorded in the NSman
Training History as a voluntary training activity so that the
NSman?s participation in IPT is duly acknowledged.
[*]Incentives
NSmen who passed their IPPT during IPT will be released immediately
from the IPT and their result would be recorded as their annual
requirement for the current IPPT window. They will also be eligible
for IPPT Monetary Awards if they achieved the corresponding
standards. Those who completed at least 8
IPT Sessions (including the IPPT at the 8th session) would be
exempted from RT if they could not pass their IPPT at the end of
their IPPT window. [/b]
*Note that training dun last until 2200 during weekdays.
Normally end before 9pm. Why i know this? I'm one of the PTIs at
Khatib FCC. Normally IPT sessions will be more shiong than RTs
because smaller group easy to control and observe.
