Student paramedic 2013

Wineport

I heard from pre-employment last Thursday. They sent an email with a Garda vetting form attached. Here's what the introduction to the email said .

Dear Applicant,
"We are currently processing your application, I have checked and we do not have a current Garda Clearance on file for you and the Garda vetting application form you supplied at the time of application is no longer valid for this purpose. In order expedite the pre employment stage of your application could I ask that you complete a new application form which is attached below (along with associated Guide & Sample)."

And then later the same day they sent a questionnaire asking me to fill in some gaps from my original application in 2013.

Hope that helps:)

On a different note - does anyone have any leads on ( fairly inexpensive: ) accommodation handy for Tallaght? I know it's expensive up there!!!

Hi, can anyone who started yesterday let us know what is the structure of the first few weeks of training please?

Why did they do that? I would have thought coming from the school after 10 weeks with all the knowledge and then being able to associate it to patient presentations to be more beneficial.

Great to see class 17 doing well not a bit jealous I swear hopefully we will all be following in you're footsteps soon

I'm actually in between 70 & 75, expressed interest but obviously, they've jumped me, had my mind set on sept so not to bothered. Not very impressed though

How would they of jumped you? did they not receive you're expression or something??? god I wouldn't be impressed at all with that did you ring them!!
the guy I'm talking about had a panel number in the very early 80s well unless he was lying like but he would have no reason to and he told me that the time we got on the panel so I'd believe it

he said he was contacted a week after everybody else and asked if he wanted to take up an offer and he jumped at it got his contract Friday

I don't know how this could have happened but what I do know is that it's not the first time, it happened in the ICO the last time as well. Obviously id have loved to have started it in May but with only 1-2 weeks left to starting date, there wouldn't be enough now for pre-study, etc. I will ring them though and just see where they have me placed on the panel as they re number candidates for next class. I did express interest and received email of recival back. It's kind of annoying no offence. 😌

Very best of luck to all you guys starting in the morning!!!!!!! Try get some sleep tonight
