A three-step start-here guide when you unlock, so you know which tool to use first. Full refund within 14 days, no reason needed (refund policy). The plan, predictor and weakness analysis are built from your own answers; they are estimates and general training guidance, not an official assessment.
General training information, not medical advice. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or chest discomfort, and see a GP before you start if you have a health condition, an injury or are pregnant. No tool can guarantee a pass.
Who it suits, and who can skip it
If you already run past level 6 on the simulator with turns that feel easy, the free simulator and guides are probably enough. The suite is most useful when you are short of 5.4, unsure how far, or worried about the day. These are example situations, not customer stories.
Starting from a low base
You have not run for a while or are carrying extra weight. The plan starts gently, builds the base first and works around any injuries you tell it about.
Free guide: starting from zeroRetaking after a fail
You know roughly where you stopped. The weakness analysis asks how you paced, turned and breathed and puts the fixes in order, and the plan works towards your retake.
Free guide: what happens if you failFit, but the turns catch you out
You can run 5k but the stop-start of 15m shuttles tires your legs. The weakness analysis and plan focus on turning and pacing as well as fitness.
Free guide: 15m vs 20mNervous about the day
The predictor shows how much margin you have, and the plan builds in practice runs so the beeps feel familiar. Pair it with the free simulator.
Free guide: test dayWhy people miss 5.4
We are not aware of published data on why candidates miss Level 5.4, so we do not quote any. Commonly cited issues, alongside fitness itself, are:
- Starting too fast. Level 1 feels slow, so nerves push people ahead of the beep and they spend energy they need at level 5.
- Wide turns. Looping round instead of turning on the line adds distance to every shuttle, and over 35 shuttles that adds up.
- Nerves. Many people find slow, steady breathing and having heard the beeps before help them stay calm.
- Straight-line-only training. Treadmill or road running has no turns. Practising stops and turns gets your legs used to the braking.
The weakness analysis asks about each of these. For the free version, see is Level 5.4 hard? and the training guide.
If the first attempt goes wrong
Retake rules are set by each force. Many allow up to three attempts about six weeks apart, and some make you wait before reapplying if all three are used: Avon and Somerset Police, for example, says six months. A failed attempt can push back your start date, and a force may withdraw a conditional offer once all attempts are used. Serving officers must be given support and at least two retakes, at least six weeks apart being advisable.
What happens if you fail the police fitness testHigher levels for specialist roles
The suite's predictor and plan can target these College of Policing recommended levels. Your force sets the requirement for your role.
- 5.4 Standard Recruits and officers who do personal safety training
- 6.3 PSU Public order (police support unit)
- 7.6 AFO Authorised firearms officer
- 9.4 ARV Armed response vehicle officer
- 10.5 DIAFO Dynamic intervention AFO
Built for the 15m test
Our 15m timings follow the published 15m multistage protocol and match the College of Policing figures for Level 5.4 (35 shuttles, 525 metres, about 3 minutes 35 seconds). Specialist levels are the College's recommended standards. The plan, predictor and weakness analysis are built from your answers using rules we wrote, plus an AI model for the written plan; they are estimates and general training guidance, not medical advice. PolicePay is independent and is not endorsed by the College of Policing or any police force.
Questions
What is the Fitness Pass Suite?
Three browser tools for the UK police 15m bleep test (Level 5.4): a personalised 6-week plan written from your answers, a pass predictor that gives a rough readiness estimate, and a weakness analysis that ranks what is most likely to stop you and the order to fix it. They are practice aids and estimates, not an official assessment.
What does the £19.99 include?
The 6-week plan (week-by-week sessions with pacing, recovery and breathing notes, a print or PDF version and a calendar file), the pass predictor (rough readiness estimate, predicted level, weeks-to-go estimate, main limiting factor, printable roadmap and a 15m pace interval timer) and the weakness analysis (ranked weaknesses, a fix order with drills and a printable booklet). The 15m simulator and the readiness calculator stay free for everyone.
Is it a subscription?
No. It is one payment of £19.99 with no expiry. Nothing renews.
Do I need an account?
No. You can pay as a guest and start straight away. Add a free account later to keep access on any device. Until then, your access and saved plan stay with the browser you paid in.
Is the plan written by AI?
Yes. It is written by an AI model (Google Gemini) from your answers, with rules that stop it promising a pass. You can generate up to five AI plans a day. If the AI service is unavailable, you get a structured plan built from your answers instead.
Can it guarantee I pass?
No. Nothing can. The tools help you see where you are and train in a structured way. How you do on the day depends on your training, your health and the conditions.
Can I use it if I am starting from a low level?
Yes. Many people build up to Level 5.4 from a low base, but how long it takes depends on where you start. The plan starts gently if your answers say you are new to running or carrying an injury. See a GP first if you have a health condition.
Is there anything different for women?
The standard is the same for everyone: the College of Policing says concessions for age or sex would be inappropriate and illegal. The tools ask about you and your training, but the advice is not specific to any one group. Forces can offer support such as women-only practice sessions.
What if I fail the bleep test?
Retake rules are set by each force. Many allow up to three attempts about six weeks apart, and some make you wait before reapplying if all attempts are used (Avon and Somerset Police, for example, says six months). Serving officers must be given support and at least two retakes. See our guide to what happens if you fail.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, with no reason needed, even if you have used the tools.
Is this official?
No. PolicePay is independent and is not endorsed by the College of Policing or any police force. Your force runs the actual test.
