You will learn a lot by going through their experience, just take the experience and not the guidance.

PAID:

Coming to paid resources, something where you have to burn a lot of money and that is an SSB coaching institute. There are many SSB coaching institutes, some of them are good, they take care of candidates and they should, they don’t do it for FREE. On the other hand, there are coaching institutes which are a waste of your time and money. Recently one of our followers came back to us and told us about one assessor who is talking bad about us and for similar websites and assessors, the irony is, we only suggested that candidate to follow him/her thinking they are good. In the recent days, there are so many assessors (retired) are coming out in social media, YouTube and everywhere and they are really doing a good job by sharing their knowledge to help candidates. Unfortunately, some of them talk how good they are by letting someone else down, they say others are making fool out of aspirants in the name of coaching and they should join them instead of such coaching institutes, what funny here is, they have to talk bad about someone else just to make sure candidates join them. AVOID such people who talk bad about others to show how great they are, they might be good, but such people are called hypocrites, in the end, they are also doing the same thing, they take money from you and give coaching, Good or Bad you decide.

Remember these things before joining a coaching academy:

First, decide, do you need SSB coaching? or Training as many of them claim. The best way to find out if you need coaching/training or not is to spend some time with a candidate who had around 7-10 attempts, doesn’t matter if he is recommended or not. Tell him what all you know about SSB, ask him to give suggestions on your responses. He will easily judge, how better you know SSB. Here the whole point is how good you know about SSB interview and why the various tests are conducted at SSB, what do they want to see in you, why it takes 5 days, what are 15 OLQs? These are basic questions, it has nothing to do with how you will respond at SSB, but if you do not have a basic idea of what SSB is and what all you have to face during 5 days, you certainly need a good coaching/training. Because if you do not understand the syllabus of an exam, you can not prepare for it.
Always try to join an academy which is well established, with a good number of assessors, infrastructure, and results of course. Do not join anyone who talks bad about others to show his or her greatness, do not join people who give a guarantee of 100% results. This is impossible, no academy and assessor can give 100% assurance and claims your success.
If you have made up your mind, do the background check, visit their websites, look who are the assessors, do they have different assessors for Psychology, GTO, and PI. If not, DO NOT JOIN THEM.
Not all coaching academies have proper GTO ground, ignore such academies. When you pay for something, you should also get the best facility and infrastructure.
Make sure the coaching is affordable and they provide study material and one to one support.
If you are also eligible for flying, make sure your coaching academy provides latest CPSS tests practice.

Note:

Just because someone got recommended after taking coaching from somewhere doesn’t mean you will also get the same result. If 100 people go to a coaching institute, it is most likely that at least one guy will be recommended out of 100.
By taking coaching it is not guaranteed that you will be recommended, if you don’t take any coaching, there are still chances that you will clear the interview. But without any preparation for SSB, you will surely fail.
We always suggest you prepare for the SSB, a good coaching institute will always help you to prepare. At SSB you are alone and you have to perform.
