During the COVID-19 restrictions, will PT tests be administered for soldiers going to NCOES courses?

Needed clarification for soldier that will be attending both BLC and ALC within the next two months. Along from what I've read i cannot tell if they will be allowed to use old one until SEPT 30 or will still need to take one before and during the school.

Last notice I received was all current on record APFT tests are valid for 1 year including for use to go to schools.

I asked this same question to attend BOLC and was told my APFT was valid for a year so I am good through the rest of this fiscal year unless big green changes its mind over the summer.

BLC is distance learning, and HRC canceled all ALC courses until the stop move is lifted. Ensure the SGT still has an ALC date

Per HQDA EXORD 164-20:
"3.B.3. (U) A CURRENT PASSING APFT SCORE AND HT/WT IS VALID FOR USE
AS THE APFT AND HT/WT PRE-REQUISITE FOR PME (ENLISTED AND OFFICER),
FUNCTIONAL COURSES, OPERATIONAL COURSE CREDIT CONSIDERATION, OR
DISTANT LEARNING / EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS."

HQDA will review the guidance published in this EXORD every 30 days, so look for an update this week or early next.
