Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

Hi all. Hope you're not cracking too long with the wait 🙈

Just a question

Did anyone do the stage 2 on your phones ? I done my stage one on my phone got on grand.

I'm in oom 400s so could be the next batch possibly 😏

It's just I'd definitely be quicker using the phone to write rough work.

Cheers for that 👍 maybe I'm over-thinking it a little 👌

I'll tune the laptop so 😁

Goodluck with stage 2 👍🤞🙏

I’m in the 300’s, I’ll throw something in too, keep ya’s in the loop.

got a stage 2 email, my OOM is 300’s. It says they are taking a large number to stage 2 now so should be alot of you getting an email today hopefully

OOM in 900s.

Just got an invite to Stage 2 myself.

Exam between Sunday 10th and Wednesday 13th

I'd needs to be verified before this date so don't put it off til sunday

Oom in 400s got email this morning 👍

You can verify from today (6th)

My understanding is to get this done before you take the assessment

Photo ID, driving licence or passport.

Very best of luck to everyone 👍

Obviously that's totally contradictory messaging then which I would be surprised with.

At the same time I think it's probably much easier for them to base the OOM on the results from stage 1. Assuming most people generally got the same information and have a similar level of literacy there will be very little to differentiate the scores in stage 2 for those who passed.

I noticed that too yeah and was going to make a comment about it. Fairly shocking discrepancy really. The other commenter made a good point that there's unlikely to be much to differentiate between candidates on the report section as its gathering facts and grammar by the sounds of it. The first batch reported it being very easy too.

Either way they shouldn't be giving completely contradictory information between the booklet and the message we received

You will be able to view the way they want it before doing it. You will have to write out a report along with adding names,addresses, phone numbers in different boxs. Best of Luck!

In the 500’s OOM, got the email too today. Think it’s bad form giving us what 4 days notice for it and also only being able to use a laptop for the the report writing stage. Heading on holidays on Saturday with possibility of bad Wi-Fi and leaves me worrying about it now, fair annoying.

Seen a comment about the report writing and what it entail's, the last time I did it obviously was in person but you watch a video with a witness speaking and you have to take down details from them and write a report of what happened. Hope this helps👍🏻

Hi everyone, I'm in the 900's on the OOM and got called today for Stage 2. Just taking a look at what everyone is saying and I just would like some advice from people that have already done it, if preparation is key? Just taking a look at the CS website they offer a course for €75 but that seems a bit for when you will only get a few days use from it at most. What would ye recommend, prepare for it or does Stage 2 require much preparation? Cheers.

Up to 1315 being called up now. Did they call everyone up or what? That's a huge number

Thats a good question actually, I done the career services stage 2 course a month ago. Gonna do it again this weekend so if no one answers by then I’ll let ya know. I think it was past but I’m guessing
