  if i fail my napfa (failed 2 items; standing board jump=150cm and inclined pull up =1), can i still sign on as the paramedic specialist with scdf?
  
  if there any so-called period of recruitment? or can i just send my resume anytime?

  Details can be checked here.. http://www.scdf.gov.sg/html/career/cr_ers-pms.html
  
  Pre-requisites
  To be a Paramedic Specialist, you must meet the following requirements:
  A Singaporean or Permanent Resident of Singapore.
  5 GCE 'O' level credits, GCE 'A' level, ITC / CBS or Polytechnic Diploma holder.
  Not colour blind. If shortsighted, lower than 500 degrees per eye.
  Physically fit. Male applicants must be PES A or B or C1.
  Minimum height for males and females is 1.6m.

  It's a good prospect signing as a paramedic ! Esp if u r a dipolma holder ! Call SCDF up and check whether they are strict on the passing of IPPT !

  Usually such rules can be bent.Just like those prerequisites of signing on for the SAF,even your PES is actually C,the doctor can close 1 eye and put B for you.
  
  But to be sure,call the SCDF up or you can email them.
