For those still waiting to do their fitness Test, i heard from an uncertain PAS person that they'll likely have another round of tests at the end of november or a week or two into december.

Nice one! Got the same news last week! Reliable source has told me they will be offering places by phone rather than email on Friday due to short notice.

Still hoping on December 1st for the start date.

Spoke to HRM today and was told they are still aiming for 30th/1st Dec start but they have no real idea as they are waiting for a higher department to give them an answer. They won't know when they'll know either and advised not to do anything with regard to giving notice to current jobs as they can't be sure the 1st will happen.

I said I assumed we'd get notice by the end of day Friday if it is to be a 1st start date and they responded that they have no idea!

I know they're in the same situation as all of us, still it would be nice to get some information, the wait is a killer!

If this is true, out of the 240 ish that passed the interview in group 1 only 160 are being offered places so far, that's a third who didn't pass Medical/pct/fitness, didn't get their vetting back or deferred, that to me is a huge number.

People are also deferring the intake because they can't start with short notice! Hopefully 40 will accept from gropu two and we wil know soon

Would be no harm if they just contacted us just to tell us where we stand regarding the 1st of December intake.

Reckon tomorrow is the day! Fingers crossed ladies and gents!!

I think I might be in a similar situation to some of you. Ive done everything and passed everything. I don't know where these supposed start dates like the 1st of December are coming from, but I wouldn't pay too much heed.
I remember when I passed the physical at the end of June, the date being talked of was the 21st of July. Well we know now that that never happened and that it ended up being the 8th of September. Its like this, we'll know the date when we're invited to start training. We probably won't know it any sooner than that. I wouldn't sit around expecting to be called for the 1st of December or any particular date. We'll know when they tell us and probably only when they tell us

I also passed my physical in June and was delayed with vetting. The reason people are saying the 1st is because HRM have contacted people including myself to see if we can go on late notice for this date!

I have no idea. I was never told anything about it and I didnt ask. Is it possible to find out?

Ring HR and ask them, if you want to find out. You must be fairly high up in the order of merit if you've everything done since June?

I was about 24 I think, but that was in the Irish stream, so I dont know what difference that makes. Ill ring them tomorrow!

I called HRM on Tuesday, they said they know as much as we do at this stage, that we may only get a week's notice as they are still aiming to fill a class for the 30th/1st date, so like you all, I'm hoping we hear some good news tomorrow. The phone will be knackered with the constant refreshing of my emails throughout the day.

Fingers crossed, it's been a long auld road to here, stay with it folks!

Of course they did. But did said as well that an email will follow.

They told me that an email will be send by the end of the week. I assumed that was about passing fitness.

djor88

Never got or heard of anyone getting an email to say you passed the fitness, they just pass that on to HRM to say you passed.

Any chance they were talking about an email of confirmation/offer to commence training?

No, no email about passing the fitness test. If you failed, theyd let you know right away, so you definitely havent

I know that I passed asince they told me straightway. Just when the instructor said that I'll get an email by the end of the week.... I didn't ask what about:))))) just assumed is only to confirm you passed. Didn't know that they don't send emails about passing fitness test.
anyway, no email yet.

Ah I getcha. I remember him saying to me, just as I was about to leave after doing the push-pull test; 'they'll be in touch with you' (this was at the end of June)

Apart from doing (and passing) an Irish assessment two weeks ago, Im still waiting : )

My expectations for today are very low

They'd probably have started the phone calls by now to get through 100...

I was hopeful they'd call today but there are plenty of positives if they don't;

1) Hopefully one month's notice for people tied in jobs
2) Longer Christmas break
3) More time for people to save up a bit of extra money

Don't worry, be happy
