For those of us in the Fast track groups, we received vetting forms shortly after we got the fast track email then after submitting those got a date for PCA.

Your vetting will run alongside this as it can take some time

Sorry to hear this. This happened me in the 1710 campaign. I achieved a 49.25 in that but the pass mark was 50. There is no appeal just reapply. I got a high B in this campaign so think positive as now you know what your facing! Good luck!

Newest update on the JoinPSNI website:

Assessment Centre Results 10th May 2019

Results from the Assessment Centre for the role of police constable have now been issued to all candidates. Congratulations to all of you who are now progressing to the PSNI managed stages of the recruitment process.

Please note, it will be a few days before the merit list is handed over to PSNI, so you will not be contacted immediately by the PSNI. We will post an update in recruitment news to let you know when details of the successful candidates have been passed to PSNI. In the meantime, if you have any queries, please contact us on info@joinpsni.co.uk.

Don’t be too disheartened if you were not successful at the Assessment Centre on this occasion. Consider that you have done very well to progress this far, something that thousands of other applicants did not achieve. We would encourage you to build on your experience at the recent Assessment Centre and apply again when we next recruit

The pass mark is quite low this year compared to previous years and they usually pass around 1000 applicants don’t they? I scored in the 60s so hoping I don’t have to wait too long

Can anyone advise how people got into fast track?

Those of us who had a high enough score and therefore were going to pass the assessment centre were progressed to the PSNI stages. There were two groups. First group found out end of March and 2nd group 2 weeks later I believe. We knew we had passed the AC but didn’t know what our grade was since then

I’m not sure what the parameters were to qualify for fast track but I’d be keen to know!

Ah that’s good too know! I thought it was maybe something to do with a previous application. I completed my vetting for 1710 and passed literally 2 months ago. Feel like it’s such a lengthy process

Is anyone able to explain the merit list?

It is simply a list (like a leaderboard) of every candidate in order of how they performed at the assessment centre. You are then progressed in this order. The closer to #1 on the list you are, the sooner you would be offered a job providing you pass all other stages

So what’s next? Vetting I’m guessing?

What exactly does the vetting process include? Anyone ever went through this before?

Vetting and PCA would be next, probably at the same sort of time. I’ve been vetted a few times for this process in the past and also for my work.

You need to complete some forms with your (detailed) personal information and they carry out background checks on you and your immediate family. They also carry out credit checks to see if you’re susceptible to bribery or corruption due to uncontrolled debts.

Thankyou for the reply. Also can I ask how do you know if you are on the merit list? (And what exactly is this?)

Thanks again

Well, if you passed the assessment centre today then you’ll be on the merit list. It’s just a list of all those who passed in order of how well they scored in the assessment centre. So, if you’re number 1 on the merit list, you’re top of the pile and will progress faster than someone else who’s maybe 800 on the merit list. Simple as that.

Then you are on the ML list.

The ML list is all passes in order or performance.

It'll be by email so it won't be a big wait.
Edit it'll depend on ML number perhaps too and be alongside PCA. I doubt they'd be able to process lots of forms at the same time.

Congrats to everyone who passed, to everyone who didn’t , just looks at your strengths and weaknesses and practice on honing your weaknesses. What’s not meant for you won’t pass you by .

That's one of my favourite quotations. Let's work hard guys.

What's meant for you won't pass you by.

Work for it in the silence and let your success be your applause.

Also love that quote you posted too, folks just for a bit of information, I’m a prison officer who has been applying for the PSNI for the last 5 years to no avail , I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel and give up on applying and applied this time round as a last ditch attempt. I said to myself that if I didn’t get it this time I would stop so I really put in the work and revised and I passed the AC. If you want it hard enough you will get it .

Vetting forms are now emailed. You will get a progression email telling you that you are to start the PSNI managed stages

Could you forward on any revision materials? I only scored 43 in the AC and am feeling really despondent about it, I thought I did a lot better and I feel my scores in each section don't really correspond with how I did in each area...

You will not get a vetting email until you get your progression email saying you have moved onto the PSNI managed stages.

Surely it's enough lol A pass is a pass and you go on to the next stage? And you got a good B. Are you thinking that the merit list will be that long that they will never get to you?

Toots123

Morning all. Feels like the morning after!!lol
That was the 1st good nights sleep i have had in a week.
Now that i have had time to think it all through it really is exciting times ahead.
Time to really get my butt in gear and get ready for the fitness end. Made an appointment to get my eyes checked also as i may need to get lazer done to meet the unaided standard. But im just going to not stress and take the next stages ad they come. The AC was the big hurdle the rest is in my own control to a certain extent.
