I've heard some lads say you don't bother touching the line if you miss the beep, just that when they say you've missed it you turn around go again.. that can't be right.

Nah that's nonsense. Ye wont be missing any beeps anyway. Ye be fine.

Any idea how long (roughly) until you would get a date for retest? Failed the beep test

They say 12 weeks but some people have been called back before that. Just make a note of when the 12 weeks are up though. I failed the push/pull and didn’t hear anything about a retest so I emailed HRM on week 12 asking about it and got a retest date within a few minutes.

Would anybody be able to PM a link to audio thats used for the bleep test? Have my PCT soon and would like to see where i'm at! Thanks

Lcass

If you message me there I can send it.

Did you fail by much.

I've to get to level 8.1 and I'm struggling.

I hear some people saying level 8 is achievable even with an average level of fitness but I think it's very tough. I see the English police force requires just 5.1 for a pass in their fitness test.

If the gardai are struggling to get the numbers they say they are, I think the beep test should be revised to a lower level and then maybe after entry increased to a higher level.

Can I ask how long in minutes the bleep test is?
And is is 20 meters in length?

What I did when I was practicing was I stepped out 15 meters and got to 8.1 and when I was comfortable with that after a few days I went to 16 meters and continued like that until I got to the 20 meters. I was fine on the day. I was struggling at the start with the beep test also.

How long roughly does the shuttle run last for if you have to achieve 8.8?

To anyone from 2019 campiagn still waiting for vetting to be complete, I got a call to clear up one or two little things and was told that that's my vetting now finished. So not so much panic after all, it's all happening behind the scenes.

It’ll probably be longer than that. You’ll spend the first 20-30 minutes filling in a form/being told what will happen. It takes about an hour or so for the first stage to be completed and then there is a two hour wait before the second stage can start. They call people at random for the second stage then so you could be waiting for another while. Honesty it’s a long enough evening as you spend most of it just waiting for something to happen.

Passed the pct last Tuesday. Has anyone been called for the medical yet? What happens on the day of the medical? Will it take long ?

I only failed by 3 runs I had a bit of a panic and had to stop because I thought I’d get sick! Just need to practice it a bit more

For stages 1-3 we have all been informed by email as to dates and location of the tests.

Does this continue for the PCT, or are the dates for PCT confirmed by phone etc. now that it has been passed to Garda HQ. ?

Thank you

It shouldn’t take long, you sign in,Do a urine sample, they check your weight, height, lung capacity & hearing, then you wait for the doctor to check your eyesight & body movements. My longest wait was for the doctor. Best of luck.

As far as I remember there were a couple of weeks between when I got the interview results and an email containing the Form B.

daniel1390

Was there about 2.5 hours, hope this helps! 😊

Great thank you, did you have your PCT between then or was it a case of getting the form B and then the PCT?

Are they strict on passing you? If BMI is under 30 , is that ok
