Garda Recruitment Stage 4 (2019 Campaign)

Hi, just wondering how much notice you get for the fitness test? Thanks

AD07

What do you do if you fail the fitness test?

daniel1390

You repeat after 12 weeks approx, there is 2 stages so if u failed one element of either stage you have to do the whole stage again, so depending on what you failed you may only have to do half of it or the full thing if you failed an element of both stages

Can you get in before the 12 weeks that’s such a long time?

Folks.
Question in regards to filling out form B.

When it ask for siblings in chronological order what does mean , also if you have step siblings where do they place.

Also when grandparents are deceased what do you put down for them. Do you list last Living address or just put in deceased any help would be great.

Does anybody know If you fail the eyesight requirements at the medical do they give you time to get laser done ? Because I know I don’t meet the eyesight requirements but don’t want to get laser done before the medical incase I fail on something else ��

Whitsundays93

Have my date for my fitness, anyone know if you fail more than one stage are you allowed to repeat in 12 weeks ? Or is just the one they allow? I think I’ll be okay but it’s just to alleviate the nerves!

daniel1390

You can repeat regardless of how much you pass or fail, I missed out only by 4 pushups and passed everything else and have to go again in 12 weeks, had mine on Tuesday

That’s a relief! I’m good for push ups and sit ups, I’m about one level down from where I need to be on beep test. It’s just that the obstacle course and push pull are a bit up in the air!
Gotta dig deep for the next few weeks and don’t indulge too much over Christmas and hopefully I’ll be there!
Best of luck with your resit!

Anyone know how long the process takes in total?

How do you see where you are on the beep test when practising at home ?

I’m lucky that I have a decent sized garden so I use tape measure and masking tape to measure out the distance and then play the app on my phone!
Terrible weather means I haven’t practiced the beep test in a week but when I go to the gym, i set the treadmill to about 0.5 km faster than needed for my final level and keep at that for as long as I can to build up stamina!
If you have a local park find a straight and flat bit of path, measure out the distance and get going! Or even if no park a quiet footpath

Thanks, Mine is starting at 4pm, finishing at 10 seems very late to end! I only ask as I’ve no car so I’ll be relying on a lift!

I used Spotify and there is a beep test on that, it's in Spotify as The beep test-20meter. It was almost identical to the one used in templemore. This might help you because when it increases a level, it will let you know what level it is starting. ie. "start of level 7" will be announced.

Thanks a million. I'm confident enough for it as I'm relatively fit but will do it a few times over Xmas just to be sure. Are they strict on the press-ups? Like are they looking for chest to hit the ground every time?

I had mine this week, they just want a properly formed press up chest doesn't have to hit the floor exactly

No they weren't strict with me, I just did a normal push up, my chest was nowhere near hitting the ground
