    Good to know I'm not the only one! All this speculation is doing my head in, would just love to know where I stand as in what they will be looking for. Do you think it will be november before the aptitute will start?


    I'd say there must be loads of prosepective applicants in our position too! I've no idea at all when aptitudes would start....and am afraid to speculate!!! :p Even if they're not in a position to take a large number of new recruits in the next intake, I'd imagine they'd still go ahead with aptitudes asap, couldn't do them any harm to have a panel ready to go! ...I'd be hoping that it would be before november, but then again, I'm not basing that on anything at all! looks like we're doomed to a bit of uncertainty over the next few months/years!!! :rolleyes:

    There's already a panel in place, and i'd say enough people to fill 2 itakes if they only take in 100

    yes, i'm willing to leave in the morning. i really hope it doesn't come to that as a like my employer and i'd like to give him as much notice as possible but i've been waiting far too long for this to turn it down.

    I was thinking that if they're taking those on the panel into Templemore next, that they'll be looking to put together another panel to have afterwards, so they might still go ahead with aptitudes soon enough! god only knows at this stage tho!! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 106 ✭✭kensey


    Got a letter today from a well known entry course company with details of upcoming prep courses for aptitude tests. The latest the course runs until is late august so things must be rolling on after that. I guess the more time passes on, the more were going to know. We all just have 2 sit tight..

    It's where you swear upon the bible or constitution to faithfully discharge the duties of a member of AGS, not to be a member of any political party and basically uphold the law.
    You will have to sign the official secrets act also. It prohibits you from divulging confidential information.

    No such thing as asking a stupid question, it's stupid not to ask the question! :)

    In my humble opinion.....if someone has a view other than "gimmie the oath NOW and i'll take it"..............personally I dont think they should be in the job.

    The oath is a part of the appointment and attestation to the force. Something that marks the "this is it....im here....im in for real". Its a great moment in everyones career.

    Ah I know it's not a dating site. Just a few people having a bit of fun as it's all so serious in here these days. It only turns into a dating site when you post stats. However, we sorted that out the other day so I shall not talk about that. I'm definitely into men only!! Ahem ahem!:rolleyes:

    Well unless you have something more stimulating!;):p

    @itsallgood.. what we are supposed to say is ''this is just a way for all of us to let some steam off, and to take our mind off the recruitment situation''. That's our defense sorted!

    eroo you will definitely make a good guard! The excuses on the ready! Letting off steam is highly recommended as all doctors will advise, it keeps the stress levels low!! I sure have something more stimulating but I will get in trouble for talking about it here!!
