Hi Mustbecrazy

Long time no see!!!

Good to have you back. Yes the board has been a bit quiet, ACs still going on but the phonecalls for the Sept should kick in next week we think so expect lots of OMG why isnt the phone ringing postings!!
Also we now have a girls only thread ( tho JVB cant grasp that concept LOL ) so us girlies are chatting over there and generally putting the world to rights!! You'll be very welcome!!

My AC is still a few weeks away I know what you mean about feeling about being dumbstruck in the role plays. But you will do great, I think the key thing is to relax. At least you are in the room on your own with the actor and assessors, and not having everyone ogling on!! I'm really nervous and kind of excited at the same time. I will most likely be a wreck on the day, I will be straight out of there and straight to the nearest bar for a large one LOL

I think you are so right to dress up, I am going in a ultra smart trouser suit, dressing for success and all that. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we're applying for a job where the uniform is paramount and defines you, so why would you go to what is in effect an interview and not demonstrate that you can be well turned out. Fair enough you may not be marked on your appearance, but I wouldnt feel the part unless I was dressed it.

Best of luck to you for yours, I know its not too far away. you will do great! Let us know how you get on when you get back.

But come on over to the gals thread, we'd love to see you!:D

Hellooooo MrsGH!!

I will definitely pop on over to the girlie thread, thanks. My a/c is on Monday. My friend that called today was all in uniform and I was asking her all about the job/hours etc etc and I really want it more than ever - sigh. I'll let you know how I get on :rolleyes:.

P.S. Have treadmill arriving on Friday to start getting fit 'just in case' lol.

done AC on the same day and just recieved vetting forms through today aswell.

does anyone know if everybody gets the vetting forms out as standard, or does it means you have passed the AC?????

im confused!!

im confused!!

the debate rages on on this one!! Consensia are saying that EVERYONE will get vetting forms. THis doesnt mean that EVERYONES will get processed does it? THough there have been boardsies who've done ACs and havent got vetting forms.

It's a puzzler!

goodcopbadcop

I know of 3 people who have done it a month ago, all who are people i think who should pass easily, all very smart people with good communication etc and not one of them has got vetting yet. Its a bit of a puzzle for sure. All will be revealed in time im sure

belfastard

it would be i kick in the spuds if u received forms then got word u failed.anyones 42 days near up.ill hear on the 30th of july

That would pretty much confirm in my eyes that only a certain score and above in the AC are getting Vetting.

So no pressure on me for my Ac in a few weeks time then:eek:

PYG pretty soon, think hers is the 21st July. But that didnt take into account the holidays so maybe a day or two after that.

Which will make her go nuts!!! She got Vetting less than 2 weeks after Ac and she was the first day of ACs

I havent even done AC yet....*sighs* Still 3 weeks or so:rolleyes:

I did my ac's three weeks ago. Haven't stop thinking about what I should have and should'nt have said. Now I can't stop thinking that I have done rubbish, hope this doesn't drag on for the full 6 weeks.

DONT!!! You'll go bonkers. And there's enough of that on these boards LOL:D
But sorry to say, it will take the full six weeks for your results - PYG was one of the first to do hers and she hasnt had hers yet, they are due Monday.....:rolleyes:

PapaYankeeGirl

Have you received vetting forms yet? I got mine less than 2 weeks after my ac but as MGH said im still waiting on my results. My 6 weeks is up on monday

inspector71

one week today I'm due mine.
I got my forms the same saturday as PYG, but I'm not still not totally convinced that means i've passed!

Finding out either way will be good, but even if it is a pass i get - what comes next after that?

I'm thinking that's the beginning of either the 5 month wait for feedback on the AC, or the non-specific length wait for the call for a medical, or no call at all

I'm trying not to think about it!

Hi PapaYankeeGirl
No haven't received vetting forms yet. I assume all the pass/fail letters will go out at the same time once they have all the results gathered.
I passed last year and had to wait for almost 6 weeks for pass letter from consensia. But hope that you getting the forms early means you done well at ac's.

I think we have to trust Consensia on this one, if they've stated that the PSNI have asked them specifically to wait for 6 weeks before releasing results then the results should be going out next week, in accordance with the dates of the ACs, which started a little less than 6 weeks ago.
All we can do is wait. At least you have all done your AC, my results will not be in until late September!!!

PapaYankeeGirl

I contacted consensia after i received my vetting forms (21st june) and they said it is no indication of passing or failing!!! BUT on the other hand someone on the forum contacted PSNI recruitment and they said that receiving vetting forms was a sign that you had passed. I would tend to take PSNIs word on the matter as it is them who send out the vetting forms. As for waiting, everyone will have to wait 6 weeks from their AC for 100% confirmation on passing or failing the AC. My 6 weeks is up on monday whereas MGH wont receive her results until september. As for feedback/breakdown of score consensia said it would be October.

squire69

On a lighter note, anyone doing the AC in Belfast would need to bring a gas-mask with them!!! A certain member of staff forgot to buy Lynx during his weekly shop methinks!:D

SFMCC

This is just a general question: The patten report states that the PSNI should be made up of 30% catholic by 2010 and that the current figure is about 23/24% and well on target. Does this mean that campaign 15 2009 will be the last campaign for 50/50 enrolement.
From reading I think their are quite a few board members who have scored highly in previous AC'S but have lost out due to the 50/50 intake.

I read also that by 2010 they were hoping to have fulfilled their objective in recruiting the figures detailed in the Patten report. However, I haven't heard when the PSNI or Consensia may remove the 50/50 selection from the application process. I guess it will be advertised as and when it is applicable.

squire69

I have heard from a reliable source that the next campaign will be the last of 50/50 selection.

ryt rung vetting as i said i would, the person i spoke to said consensia are doing things different this year compared to previous years which he cant understand! however he stressed that getting your vetting forms does not mean you have passed and for those like myself who havent received them yet not to get worked up as it does not mean you have failed! his only guess was that they are sending veting forms out early as a precaution

there seems to be different stories floating about in regards to this issue as one person seems to be geting told something different than the other however one thing is for sure it is showing inconsistencies in cosensia/psni information!

owen1976

I rang vetting when I got my forms and they said it mean't that I had passed the A/C!!!!:rolleyes: I really wish they would make up their minds. :mad: But all will be revealed soon. Watch this space!!:eek:

Why don't you just post your questions in the thread or try using the search function? What is your reason for wanting to PM somebody instead of postng your questions? That's what it's here for.

Wonder did papayankeegirl get her A/C letter today. Its killing me to know because Im due mine on the 30th july. It would'nt be as bad to wait for it if it wasn't for all these conflicting stories as to what getting the vetting form means. I got my vetting forms 10 days after my A/C. Guess I'll know soon enough!!!
