What is a Chester Step Test?

The Chester Step Test (CST) is a multistage aerobic capacity test. It requires you to step on and off a 30 cm / 12″ step (a standard gym bench). It consists of five levels, each of them with two-minute duration. The test should be discontinued when the candidate reaches around 80% of their calculated age-based heart rate maximum or completes the fifth level, whichever comes first.

How long is my medical valid for?

The Seafarers’ Medical is valid for 2 years unless you are under 18 years of age, where the validity is 1 year.
The HSE Medical, if unrestricted, is valid for 1 year from the issue date. If any restrictions apply, the certificate may be limited to a specific activity or a period of time.
OEUK Medical is usually valid for 2 years.
Recreational diving medicals are issued for 1 year unless particularly stated otherwise.
Asbestos Medicals are valid for 2 years.
