You cannot prepare for the medical. However, here are some tips to help you: 

  1. Do not listen to very loud music or other loud noises immediately before Phase 3 (Final Selection); it may affect your hearing test. 
  2.  Do not take any supplements or energy drinks as these may affect your performance. 
  3. Declare any medication on arriving at British Gurkhas Pokhara so that we can properly look after you during selection. 
  4. Bring the appropriate medical documents if you are on medication or have had surgery. 
  5. Fizzy drinks such as Coca-cola, Fanta, Mountain dew and Red Bull are extremely bad for your health. If you drink sugary drinks regularly this can affect your body in a bad way. If you have excess sugar in your urine during the urine test, then this means your organs cannot process the sugar properly and you will fail selection. Please only drink water and avoid sugary drinks.

There will be two English tests at Phase 3 (Final Selection); a 30-minute writing exam and a 10-minute speaking and listening exam. The tests are run by professional education officers. 

Writing. In your writing exam you will be assessed on your content, spelling, punctuation and grammar. You can find a sample exam paper, exam instructions and advice in the ‘download’ section below.  

Speaking and listening. During your speaking and listening assessment you will be tested on your answer structure, grammar, vocabulary, clarity, flow, and response, as well as understanding and following direction. You will be called up individually to have a conversation with an education officer. Advice and practice questions can be found in the ‘download’ section. 

If you make it to the interview, you have done very well.

In the interview we want to know who you are and why you want to be a Gurkha soldier in the British Army or a police constable in the Gurkha Contingent Singapore Police Force.

If you are successful, you will be responsible for maintaining our legacy and our reputation worldwide in the future. Therefore, we are looking for individuals joining for the right reasons, with character traits suitable for service.

A soldier in the Brigade of Gurkhas and a police constable in the Gurkha Contingent Singapore Police Force should have excellent values and standards, be mentally and physically robust and, most importantly must want to be a soldier or police officer. 

Research. You must do research on your chosen service. Visit their social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram and read about them. Learn about what they are doing in the world right now and think about why that is interesting to you.

Your own answers. Candidates who do their own training usually perform best at interviews because their answers are natural and from the heart. Training centres teach you simple answers that are obvious to interviewing officers and fail to display the candidate’s real personality. 

Advice for the interview can be found in the ‘download’ section below.
