Who this preparation area is for

Prospective Royal Marines candidates exploring CPC, PJFA and role-relevant physical preparation resources.

What meaningful preparation should cover

Don't mix stages

PJFA, CPC and Commando training have different purposes. Confirm the exact assessment and official instructions before choosing your training approach.

Don't confuse endurance history with fitness qualification

Our founder's ultrarunning and Reserve training experiences contribute first-person perspective, not a claim that he trains Royal Marines recruits professionally.

What genuine coaching must include

Appropriate qualifications, assessment of individual circumstances, safe load progression, technique, meaningful feedback and clear limitations. The service should not resell freely available official PDFs.

Questions worth answering first

  • Are you preparing for PJFA, CPC or a different stage?
  • Have you confirmed your current role and stage with Royal Marines Careers?
  • Would you benefit more from understanding tests, independent accountability or qualified coaching?

Before you pay for independent help

Confirm exactly what the provider delivers, who is qualified to deliver it, the feedback you'll receive and whether freely available official resources already cover your needs. No provider should imply that paying for preparation can guarantee military selection.
