It all comes down to vetting , after my interview my oom was under 20. I have medical and fitness done also. My vetting has undergone final checks at present. It's taken so long for the amount of family on it who are living in different countries and I've also lived abroad myself ,so it delayed the whole process alot. I email constantly but it's all just a waiting game. I have received an email stating vetting was clear but any offer will be based on oom. (Obvs provided that your vetting has come back clear) hope this helps people. We're all in the same boat!

Wait for your GP clearance , they send it out and give you a return date when they want it back and then issue a date for it, no point asking for clearance if they don’t know when there going to start them again, god knows when they start them, if there’s going to be tighter restrictions in place in the new year cold push everything back again,
Hang in there.

no one has messed you around from not getting in, there is an entire process that goes on behind the scenes that runs alongside the candidate doing their different stages. no sgt or super would leave a file on a desk to get lost or forgot to post it so to speak. obvioulsy there is something delaying you out of your control in the vetting side of your application. hold tight and the new year will bring more recruitment

I would imagine this new lockdown will delay our process even further. I know it's beyond anyone's control but surely they could start looking into a new way off getting the training done because I think it will be a while before templemore will open it's doors again. Hard to stay motivated with all these setbacks and no news of any movement

The intakes due back to templemore in Jan are postponed for a month they are staying out in the stations. So God knows when pcts will start up at all.

I really hope we hear something fitness, medical, intake related by March or April. Staying motivated is becoming harder as each month passess.

My OOM is 125 and everything is complete, just waiting to get called. I hope they start getting things moving again, the wait is painful.

My oom is in the 700's and I'm juts waiting a pct and medical, my vetting is completed. Looks like templemore isn't opening anytime soon. The batch that are due back this month from the stations were told they won't be back as of yet.

how do you know that your vetting is complete did they notify you about this?

ya by the looks of things it could be another good few months before any real movement happens.

I would email them every now and again for an update on my vetting process. The last time I wrote(which would of been a week ago) they responded with an email saying my vetting is completed.
Yeah it's a lenghlty process without covid, unfortunately this has just made it alot longer

fair play for getting all the stages done, i have to redo the stage 1 of the pt. failed on the beep test scored 7.1 but needed a score of 8.1. both my legs cramped up during it :O have you any advice on how to build on my beep test score? what training did you do if you don't mind me asking?

Cant speak for the above poster but I can give some advice regarding the beep test. I've been running now two to three times a week for the last while and then doing the beep test at the end of the week as one of those runs.

Obviously a lot of it is cardio, how far you can run, etc. But there is a big part of it that is experience as well. Its important to know the timing in between each level and run to that beep. You dont want to arrive to early (you're going to tire yourself out quickly) or too late (you'll fail after a few late show ups).

Try to find a basketball court or something near by, mark out the distance with some cones and just run it once a week. Supplement it some running during the week and you'll do great.

At 7.1 you are not far away from 8.1 so you can definitely do it.

To avoid cramping make sure you're well hydrated the week leading up to it (no point in trying to hydrate on the day), dont eat anything within two hours of your test and also do some warm ups/stretching before hand if you can.

Hope it helps and good luck!

Practice Practice Practice. I set up two cones 20m apart on my front yard. I done the beep test 3-4 times a week. Aim beyond 8.1. Try and aim for level 10 or 11. Headphones on and plough on. You will fly it. You have time on your side now. You will get the beep test on Spotify. Best of luck

The second one

Hi,
Had a second meeting with the Sergeant the week before Christmas to follow up on a person of interest on my vetting. I then met the Superintendent last week, he said he doesn't know what’s going to happen with regard to recruitment. - I took it away as a positive going by that fact it’s still happening in the background.

Fitness and Medical were cancelled back in April due to COVID that’s all I’m waiting on now everything else is complete.

Some movement in the last few weeks has anyone else had similar ?

Goddard

I am currently only waiting to complete the fitness and medial.

Does anyone know what date / month the last fitness tests were held?

Thanks

They will try get 193,201,202 and 203 through before a new intake , unless they stick with the 3 week online , 1 week in the college and 12 weeks in the station and then 16 weeks in the college.
The college dont even know what they are going to do at this stage

Boxer12347

Yeah I think it will be a good while before there is a new recruitment. I know they wanted to recruit 600+ this year but they will prioritise the intakes they have in at the minute, that need to finish in the college first. That’s just the reality even though we all are waiting to get the recruitment up and running again. Hang in there peeps it’s just difficult times

Dean445

Intake 202 passed out today, so there could be a new intake in by summer months hopefully
