Is there any hope for someone who can't swim? I'm very bad in the water and can't swim at all, terrified of the water. What he being tested in?

Don't worry. Just do what you can. I think i was in the pool about 3 times. Maybe 4. Was definitely only in the 1st week anyway. I didn't set a toe back in it for the other 31 weeks.

I think they're only copies of what we actually have to sign but bring em just incase. Better to have em n not need em than need em n not have em

I done mine Friday, I've broken my femur bone before and had 3 surgeries, I mentioned it and she didn't even check my legs, so if you don't mention it they won't check, unless you think it will effect you then mention it, the questionnaire asks if you have them, so it's up to you, maybe see what the situation is on varicose veins. If it's a straight fail or not.

I fully understand the possibility of being stationed anywhere. I'm just curious if you get any say as to where you will be stationed? Are personal circumstance or results during training taken into account?

Gnr_Iver · 06-09-2016 5:11pm

For anyone who has completed the recent induction week, could you give us a daily breakdown as to what ye did over the week?
Be interesting to know for future reference.

Thanks

You may put in a request for welfare reasons, such as ill family members, dependants, being tied to a mortgage etc. expect to provide proof and also expect AGS to refuse.

Once you get your stations with the rest of your class, you can swap amongst yourselves before you begin in your station.

Just want to make a note hear, having gone through the college, you can attempt/ask to switch with another willing trainee but it is not a 100% guarantee but it is likely it will be permitted assuming you don't ask to switch to a station on your front door.

You serious ? I was under the impression you were landed with station X and that was that'???

Nope, if you can find someone willing to swap and it's not a station right where you live (dublin excluded, and the other major cities to a lesser extent) you can request a swap. Not a 100% guarantee it'll go through though

So the Trainees from this new campaign will be €579 better off than their 2013 and 2016 campaign counterparts.....

It was €23,171
This new campaign states €23,750

Maybe it's changed for every trainee going through over the coming months ?

Canyon86 · 08-09-2016 2:32pm

can ppl see rent allowance being restored?

Its a major stumbling block for myself not being able to afford to live in a big city without some support, especially Dublin,

2013 Campaign - Is there anyone on here still waiting on the completion of Vetting who was part of the 2013 campaign? I keep getting fobbed off with the standard response "your vetting isn't complete". I'm near into the 4th year of this. I worked abroad which may have held it up, but holy god 4 years!!!!. Has anyone any advice on how to move this forward. I'm at my wit's end.
