I was worried there. The PSNI don't know who we are until Deloitte hand over a merit list as far as I know. Again, the pass mark of the AC can be relative to how everyone scored. To advance people to further stages who may not make it sounds like a waste of time on their part. Phew!

But did it not say near the start of the email that the psni would be sending us out vetting forms by post?

Please note: Following this invitation to attend the Assessment Centre, you will receive correspondence directly from the PSNI (via post)

In the consensia days people would begin vetting etc before others had completed their ACs.

Pretty sure that bit at the end means people will receive not progressing at this time emails when the results do come out i.e top scorers first then the next batch a few months later and so on like we had in 1509.

Does anybody know if you can request to see the correct/wrong answers from the IST. It would be very helpful to see where I went wrong?

It's the first time they've done it this way. Maybe. Before you couldn't.

Cheers, I'll give it a go anyway.

Sorry for the stupid question... If we have A-level certificates, do we bring those? Or just the required GCSE ones?... ps, hope to see you all soon.

Just the 5 GCSEs Incl Maths + English, no more...even if you have 10 GCSEs. Brought everything and they made me give them a random 3 last time to photocopy.

I'm not to sure as it doesn't state anything about further qualifications beyond GCSE's. Not much help I know but I would ring and ask..

Banterbus28

Give what they ask for

I'll shoot them an email, I think it should be fine realistically speaking as it counts for more than 5 GCSES lol

Banterbus28

Mate if you stated on your application form. That you have 5 GCSEs A*-C And actually have 4, you could be disqualified.

It says (Equivalent) I I was guessing that it would be fine, because academically it would be the equivalent or more

Banterbus28

The equivalent would be a level 2 qualification, essential skills etc.

As levels are level 3 and are so higher.

Banterbus28

Pm me

lmcg1106

Think equivalent refers to the irish leaving cert for those applying across the border. I would shoot deloitte an e-mail as banterbus's concern is valid

Banterbus28

My point is this.

You signed an accountable document stating that you have 5 GCSEs.


You then signed a confirmation that everything you stated on the application is true.

See where this going?

Goonerdee

You’ll be fine

Banterbus28

"Provided that you meet our eligibility criteria (i.e. have a minimum of 5 GCSEs at A*-C grade"

From Goonerdee's link

KN1231999

I've shot Deloitte an email, I'm thinking it's fine, as it's worth more than 5 GCSE's

Goonerdee

There is an example further down about not having the GCSEs and they use A Levels as being acceptable

Banterbus28

That's ok. The have seen sense. Sometimes in recruitment it's just not sorry don't meet criteria despite having a the equivalent of a degree

On a side note, has anyone heard on the news today about the current shortage of officers and the strain it's causing on the PSNI? hopefully that encourages the PSNI to recruit more than 300 recruits.

KN1231999

Thanks for all the information and replies, banter and goonerdee, I've sent out an email just in case. Just so I don't worry about it. Sort of worrying now lol

jwhdkl5736

I used to work with a colleague was excluded from the selection process because he had 4 GCSEs 2 A levels and an OU degree.

My understanding of equivalent qualification is GCSE -> Vocational Equivalent, Essential Skills etc.

Who know's though, it may have changed.

Potentially, you could sit some sort of fast-tracked essential skills course now and have it done in time for the AC.
