What is it?
The Candidate Preparation Course (CPC) is a four-day course that all Rating candidates must attend before Basic Training. The aim of your CPC is to assess and prepare you for suitability to complete Initial Naval Training; whilst at CPC you will participate in a physical test to required standards. Inability to reach the required standard may result in you failing the course, and your entry into the RN may be delayed. Whilst at CPC you will also receive presentations, one of which will focus on the Professions within the Royal Navy.
