Military Assessment Preparation Reviews 11

I did a private session with MAP to cover the AIB as part of officer selection for the RN . The session was excellent and I could have passed the AIB without it . Being able to work through examples and get direct feedback is invaluable . I was able to learn little tricks and techniques to find the leadership position during the tasks but also answer questions with confidence . The resources provided afterwards were also really helpful couldn’t recommend enough !

Put simply, MAP can help you prepare in a way that no other platform can. Examples of planning exercises can be found all over the internet, but there are no guides on how to actually approach them and succeed. Jez is knowledgeable, reassuring, and very easy to work with. His method for tackling the planning exercise, identifying and categorising information, and taking control of the situation, is simple, effective, and easy to apply.
The group practice sessions are unique and absolutely invaluable in allowing you to actually use these tactics and techniques with other candidates, which gave me confidence and experience before I went to AIB. I was able to apply the tips I had learned from Jez and other candidates at MAP to my group assessment, demonstrating the attributes that assessing staff look for from the outset. For the small investment a few sessions with MAP costs, the confidence and experience you have going into your assessment is worth every penny. For potential officers, I could not recommend this service more highly.

I had the pleasure of working with Jez while preparing for my AIB, and I would highly recommend him.

His sessions were structured, challenging, and focused on the key skills required — clear thinking, communication, and decision-making under pressure. What stood out most was his precise, actionable feedback and his ability to create realistic scenarios, especially during group planning exercises.

Jez struck a great balance between being supportive and pushing me to improve, which really boosted my confidence and performance. Thanks to his guidance, I successfully passed my AIB and felt genuinely well prepared going into it.

Jez was crucially helpful in my OASC prep, the one on one interview covered very similar topics to those that came up on the day, and the group planning ex practice gave me a perfect framework to ace the real thing. All the prep with MAP 100% contributed to my pass.

After failing my first attempt at the Royal Navy AIB, I sought out Military Assessment Preparation for additional support. Jez’s experience proved invaluable, particularly during the planning exercise sessions, which closely replicated the pressure and structure of the real event. Through several sessions and clear, focused guidance, MAP helped me understand where I was falling short and how to improve. As a result, I passed my second AIB attempt with flying colours and have now been selected to begin officer training with the Royal Navy.

I  was extremely fortunate to come across MAP for my second attempt at OASC, which I am happy to say I passed! The planning exercise and interview sessions were crucial for building both my confidence and the skills necessary to perform at my best on the day. Jez is incredibly patient, supportive and knowledgable, with invaluable tips to help anyone succeed. I can’t recommend MAP highly enough! 

Very good and thorough expertise that really shows when they give advice on interviews and planning exercises. Invaluable for all the gems they dropped along the way.

MAP was extremely helpful in my preparation for Officer Selection.
Provided clear and constructive feedback followed up with well-structured lessons and great resources to complete. It builds confidence quickly and works on your weak points to build you up into a confident candidate.
I couldn’t recommend this enough to anyone who is attending Officer Selection in any of the services.

MAP set me up to get selected for a competitive role in the RAF.

Before I discovered MAP, I had no guidance for OASC, scouring the internet for useful resources, however, they were either outdated or irrelevant.

After finding MAP, I took part in all the activities which made selection far more straightforward than anticipated. A key factor of being selected for my first choice in the RAF.

I would highly recommend people who are wishing to join the military as an officer to use MAP as it only sets up for success.

Jez, is the perfect person to go too when looking for information on the military. I failed OASC for pilot and found out about Jez. We had a few sessions and he helped me out tremendously and helped me pass my OASC for pilot at my second try. 100% recommend.

I did a handful of sessions with Jez back in 2024 prior to my RAF interviews at OASC. The sessions we did were invaluable, the group tasks with other applicants and 1 to 1 mock interviews really gave me an edge for the real thing. Regardless of whatever service or role you’re applying for, the sessions MAP offer are suited perfectly! 10/10
