    Hi all. Only recently found this site. I’m on the merit list too.. between 400-420. Received an email the other day inviting me to attend PCA. No mention of the medical on it though. I thought it was conducted on the same day? New to the process and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If you mean associated medical docs yes, or are these additional medical appointments for the process?

    When your consultant closed your file they should have carried out a final functional assessment with a PT's input.

    How far away from the pass were you first time ? Was there any element you had particular trouble with ?

    I guess the drag. Yeah I was quite far.

    Go to your local gym and see if they have drag bags or a sled you could use to practice

    I found an app called seven minute workout that give you a basic circuit of body weight exercises. It’s a free download on apple and if you push yourself you’ll strengthen all of you. Good luck. I hope you get through.

    Is there a source for that or is that just speculation?


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭Lockie101


    Is there any of the original guys back from 2017 applications or 2018 applications that I applied with?

    A mate is a CDO and it's a good earner.

    Enhance the salary listed by 20% for the shift allowance.

    NICS terms and conditions so weekend premiums apply as well. 0.5x hourly rate extra per hour saturdays and double time sundays.

    And civil service pension

    Anyone who’s passed SMT know if results are emailed or sent via letter?

    You get an email to let you know it’s passed. Mine went into my spam folder and it was a few weeks before I realised it was there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 229 ✭✭YNWA27


    If you fail it will be by letter as the details of how to appeal will be issued with it.

    Sounds good I thought the salary wasn't that great when you took into consideration 12hr shifts. Do you know can you choose what station you are in?
