Right my lovelies, went to the information day this morning and OMG!!!! After talking to the 2 guys from TSG I want in even more than before! I was sitting listening to them feeling like my kids on Xmas eve lol!!!!!
Any who, the PSNI recruitment rep said I can reapply if I like and also to give recruitment a call and check in the vetting, I said I'd rather not since it specifically asked not to
She did confirm that the intakes are approximately in groups of 50 however they do have a few that decline and that it's every 5 weeks. Also since we're debating on numbers here sometimes she confirmed it's DEFINITELY 378 from the 2013 campaign that it's being recruited.
PSNI had given Deloitte a target of 2000 to go through the PCA vetting online learning and medical. She reckoned there's at least 30% who've failed the PCA with a big majority of girls not going through (doesn't surprise me cos I still think her stop watch was wrong when I passed lol). I'm not sitting working out numbers lol but she said next batch calls should be out mid June!!!!! So here's hoping!!!! Can't wait to get into hotel GV lmao!!!!0 -

Thanks for all the info! Good detective work already
was just going to ask, do you (or anyone else for that matter who is hoping for a call next week) think you're going to reapply? I've been thinking about it but I don't know if there's much point now. 0 -

Lol it's only cos I'm scared of missing out. Not fancying CID definitely TSG lol. The guys were hilarious telling me about dragging 16 stone dummies and running the PCA in full kit with the shield. Need to keep the training up for a few years!! Apparently 5'5 and being female shouldn't go against me lol!! We'll see!!
I'm definitely applying in the last week. If our estimates are right and the rep said mid June that gives us a week until fri 20th. I'll be applying then. Need to be in it to win it lol0 -
:eek:why on earth would any of you are are through it all need to reapply?? are you not just waiting on THE CALLDutch_Rudder wrote: »Thanks for all the info!

i've my PCA very soon, but have reapplied just incase i make a balls up!- but that is totally different situation than you very lucky (and obviously very talented!) people:)0 -

That was my thinking on it Vick that I don't see WHY I'd need to reapply but I'm never gonna be certain with this until/if I get that final phone call. Anytime I talk to the parents or girlfriend about this or mention anything interesting I've heard about training or the general day to day of an officer I finish nearly every sentence with an IF I get in... Maybe I'm just superstitious and don't want to jinx myself lol0 -
same height as me MopATop....and it wasnt long ago that i was nearly a 16stone dummy!! down to a svelt 14 stone now, so hoping to glide over the PCA!Lol it's only cos I'm scared of missing out.

The TSG guys said the girl in the video is going at a much slower rate and wouldn't pass. They reckoned you give it hell between the obstacles and take them at a reasonable pace, better to go clean than rush and repeat.0 -

For me the issue hasn't been so much WHEN I'll be starting (although like Mop a top said earlier, at this point I am raring to go haha) it's always been IF and being 100% sure there's a space for me!
Also, I have to say at 5ft 5 you're at a distinct advantage for the PCA, no way you'll be whacking your head going up the steps :P haha good luck for it Vick you've brought a lot of positivity and life to these forums which is good to see as we're all in the same boat at the end of the day.
cheers!! also able to walk under the crawl stage without ducking down!
yes, will all need to be able to have a chortle or to!!!:)0 -
thankyou -- defo my plan!.... well, until i get there and just stand crying and wetting myself!!The TSG guys said the girl in the video is going at a much slower rate and wouldn't pass.

though wouldnt mind as long as I know ive got it.
Well your SMT should be back in time as it should arrive this week but to be honest it's all guesswork! We don't really know how they choose people, I think it's a matter now of whoever has completed vetting will get selected for the next batch and those who haven't will have to play the waiting game again. Did you say before you were group 2b for online learning? There still seems to be a lot of 2a waiting but again, that could really mean nothing at all lol0 -

sweet chuck wrote: »Yeah 2b I dont mind it I have to wait again, its just the not knowing.
Yeah that's it exactly, you probably feel the same as me that if they said look, you'll not be starting for months but you 100% have a place and WILL be starting I would happily accept that. It's just the case of never being able to be 100% sure you're going to get it that's the killer. (Even though at this stage I think we all will ) 0 -
