It’s a pretty weird setup I think. I’m from sep2016 campaign OOM 500. passed medical and physical during summer. Met with super etc. But my vetting I think is the problem as I’m from the north so they’d have to request it from a “foreign” police force etc. I just hope it gets put to bed soon. Can’t be dealing with the constant email checking

I really dont get how my vetting hasnt taken longer i lived abroad for a year and i also have family from the north so thats 3 difdwrant police forces doing checks. so i expected a long wait but all im waiting on is the sign off. Best of luck and hope it doesnt take too long

I’m in same boat as you, did my pct back in August, vetting is clear a few weeks & oom is early 800s🙈 so hard to know wat to expect

Yeah i done my fitness in august too so fingers crossed for us both so. I dont think the oom is really anything to go by but again thats my opinion it can chop and change so much since you got it.

Mid 500s OOM and im all signed off and done we all seem to be around the same OOM from Sept 16 so that's encouraging for offers

Do you mind me asking when you found out you werw signed off?

Mr.cool212

Don't know about ye but my file is awaiting to be signed off for about 4 months and it wasn't signed off last week. I find it strange that no one has been told there file has been signed off either?

Yeah waiting on mine to be signed off the last 3 months. But from what someone said up here maybe they arent signed off till offers are going out? Checked mine last week and it hasnt either.

I rang HRM the other day just to see if anything magically had happened an the woman said offers will be coming out end of this week, start of next week an she said offers are strictly by merit, didn’t give an indication though of how far up or down the ladder my oom is, soooo none the wiser really!

Yeah its difficult to get any clear answers really i think people get anxious on the back of not knowing whats going on at least if you knew good or bad you can deal with it. Its living in limbo land thats tough but look i do like this thread cause least you know more people are going through the same

How do you know if your file is waiting to be signed off on. Did you ring ? If you don’t meet the threshold (ie OOM) do they email you and say you were unsuccessful or do they just leave you hanging forever? Panicking in case the OOM 500’s is too high

I called in total 3/4 times since sep and its "awaiting sign off by senior management". If i dont make it my oom is mid 500's your not told a thing. So you have to wait. Its hars to know as people are waiting in vetring still so you could be faster or have to to wait on the next group.

Highest ive seen in November intake on these forums was 530 from Sept 2016, so i reckon OOMS from 500 to 700 are in with a good shout, vetting pending and allowing for those left behind from previous years

I'm in hands off mode for my sanity. HRM will write all the emails, wait till they are about to leave, line up at the door, and hit send with a stick while they run (can't hear the phone ringing when your hot footing it).

Dumb jokes aside, keep it together everyone you've all got impeccable resilience to have held on so far. Whether im in this intake or another its been pleasure .

Maybe try again Monday. I asked yesterday when you get signed off do they give u a position in the next group he said no its order of merit. So im still not sure if i have a position this time around! But thanks all the same! Fingers crossed!

Ada89

What do you say when your ringing to see if your file has been signed off? Or do you just ask what stage you are at ?

Just say your ringing up to find out has all your forms been signed off or what stage you are at for the garda traniee. They will ask your name a dob and take a look for you. They are very friendly and look no problem for you!

So I suppose it will be January before offers are out?

Ah now here stop that

They usually give 4/5 weeks notice lads, this week just gone is early in the month going by most intakes, this week seems more than likely, just sit tight.

EllenBarry

I’m from the Sept 2016 campaign, this waiting game is starting to drive me insane, done my fitness test in may passed everything, met both the super and the sergeant, and my oom is in the early 300’s

sticky hurling

I would be hopeful that we will hear something tomorrow or tuesday no ?

DublinGuy84

Hi guys! Long time observer...first time poster!
September 16 campaign. Best of luck to everyone and I hope many of us get some good news this week.

Lmarie2016

Hey all, I would assume the offers will be out tomorrow because they will be finishing up on Friday until January I would say. So they would need to get responses by the end of this week to send the packs with the information out.. maybe I am just being too hopeful ha ha

People place to much weight on order of merit, I wouldn't worry about it too be honest. I am waiting 2 years at this stage, plenty of people have interviewed and applied after me and have long passed out at this stage. OOM to me means absolutely nothing, so I wouldn't get hung up on it.

The main thing to go on is if your signed off, if you are then expect an offer.
