Fitness Test Times

I would like to ask about fitness tests for promotion. It is my understanding that from a 5-4 the fitness test is towards the end of the off-season, and only once a fitness test is passed can the process for promotion be continued. However, should I wish to book a holiday around late July, which is when I presume the fitness tests are, will there be alternative dates and will I be allowed to politely decline and attend a different one?

Many thanks to those who can answer this question.

I believe that the requirement to pass a fitness test in order to apply for promotion from 5-4 is a county FA requirement as opposed to national FA (or at least it is administered by the county FA). This is to reduce the likelihood of you being selected for level 4 and then failing the national FA fitness test.
Assuming that what I just said is true and hasn't changed, your RDO will be the best person to advise you.
 
Email your RDO and ask the dates for your County FA.

Mine has 5 dates, spanning from May to September.
