completed mine last night.did people get emails conforming it was completed ?

No you don't get confirmation email. Once you get to the last page and hit submit thats it.

If in doubt, hit the link in messages again. Once you hit ok on the name page it will tell you that you have already submitted the live test and you can not do it again.

Mike a quick question i heard and read to get a customs officer role you need to be already employed by revenue so do you think this would perhaps be a good stepping stone ? you seem to have a lot of info on the role,Also i spoke to someone in relating to this role and for others applying there is an awful lot of administrative work in the role well so im told that is

"Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney will seek Cabinet approval to recruit 450 customs and veterinary inspectors as part of the preparations for Brexit.

The Government had previously stated that just over 1,000 customs, technical, veterinary and food inspectors would be recruited to prepare ports and airports for Brexit."

Only from speaking to others.

A few years ago i did meet a customs manager from rosslare alright who said the same thing that customs officers are recruited internally.

From what i have been told of this role you are asuch "revenue staff" working within the customs division so while the job is permanent, after three year you maybe reassigned to a different role not in customs.

If they are recruiting for customs officers i would imagine you would have a better chance of getting in having worked work within customs division but i would presume you have to be in the job at least two years to be eligible for any internal competitions.

No they never do. Like in the general service CO 2018 campaign, they might tell you what you scored in stage 1 and if you were in the top, middle or bottom third but thats about all they will say.

After stage 1 you will ether pass or fail to meet the standard. If you pass youll be given an order of the merit which will decide who and when people will called to the next stage.

Just wondering if you know what "the standard" is - ie how many questions have to be correct in each section to pass - is it the same number as the test scenarios on the PAS website or does "the standard" vary with each campaign?
Thanks.

Unfortunately not, I dont know how they break down the points per question/section etc but in the CO 2018 the standard was 300/800 points (37.5%) but I don't know if that will be the same in this compaign or if it varies.

Well you know the pass mark for the three sections and you get a feedback sheet including the average scores

schoopi

Thanks - do you know what the pass mark for each section is ? Does it vary with each campaign or not?

Does anyone know whether they plan to take on EO and higher grades also?

Revenue ran an EO campaign back in July for Tax, Audit and Compliance... they are also expected to run an AO campaign in about October.

After that the bog-standard PAS EO campaign (excluding Dublin) is due in early 2019.

I wasn't far off ;-)

It is 'technically' equal to the HEO but the salary is lower because its a graduate training programme.

From what I have been told your expected to move into a HEO role or seek promotion to AP (next level up) within 5 years of starting the AO. Although its possible, your not meant to be an AO forever.

Supervised tests 5th and 6th Oct.

jodaw

Got a email today about making a booking for 5th-6th October.

These must be urgent positions that they are trying to fill as the process is moving much quicker than i expected.

From the other competitions they seem to give an OOM after stage one but i did not receive this. Anyone else receive an OOM?

I was just about to reply that I hadn't received an OOM yet. I haven't gotten an email about supervised tests though either. Well done!
