    Am I’m not sure to be honest. I haven’t found any online and I don’t think career services do a stage 2 for it and I don’t know of any other places that offer prison recruit courses apart from Kilroys but apparently they’re not great

    How do you know what stage 2 is going to be about? Do you not have to go in for another test but this time under supervision?

    Ahh no way?? How did they manage that! That is sickening sorry to hear that. Did they give you an order of merit in the 1st message? You should maybe get on to them again for an explanation, make sure it's not a mistake

    That's rough, genuinely sorry to hear that. You know what to concentrate on for next next campaign. Such a blunder from them though.

    I would definitely recommend career services. I was clueless before I got the package and studied it on and off for a few weeks and my OOM was in the top 15. I wouldn't be all that strong academically either, it's all about good preparation when it comes to aptitude tests. Best of luck for the future pal

    Apparently they are crying out for officers and there wasn't a massive response to this year's competition so I'd say there will be more recruitment.

    Has anyone found any useful websites or YouTube vids to try prep for the role play?

    Hello all, I got OOM close to 400. Is there any hope for me getting in over the next few months? Are they taking only 344 as it says in the news article at the start of the thread ?

    I know it’s probably a good bit down the line yet but has anyone started training for the fitness test? Doesn’t seem as hard as the Garda one but is there a bleep test in it does anyone know?

    It's kind of pointless thinking about something that might not happen for a very long time. There's the role play to get through, the interview and then the medical before you even get considered for the physical. There are shuttle runs involved alright that much I do know.

    The next exercise hasn’t been seen yet by any other group I’ve heard, it’s been done differently.

    Fair play. They intentionally make it tough I presume. What sort of scenario did you have and did they tell you if you passed straight away?

    It was just dealing with a complaint. The scenario I got I felt was a bit unrealistic. I dug myself into a hole nearly straight away and struggled to get out of it. I did manage to get the outcome they wanted but it was not impressive in anyway. They said the results should be out by end of November.
