Garda Recruitment 2022/2023

that's good to know, thanks!

If i were you id practice using the one on spotify , and keep trying until you get to your required level. The bleep test on the day is definitely easier than the spotify version so if you can do that youll be fine on the day

HI guys, Seen someone post they'd been pushed back 3 months as their BMI was over 30. Find this frustrating my BMI is well well over 30 but my fitness is well over what is required. Don't know why that can't be enough to pass.

Because it's considered obese. Not fat, not overweight but obese. No medical will accept a BMI that high without an exception reason ie body builder, etc.

Would you just contact HRPD and just check the status or question the meeting with the superintendent?

It's probably just sitting in your local station waiting to been seen by whoever needs to see it. I've honestly no idea. I'm only saying you might want to chase it because you're tight for time to start on the 20th. If you got a super meeting within a week or so you should still get in with the Feb 20th intake otherwise you'll be waiting another 10ish weeks for the next intake

Anyone having an interview coming up and looking for a course to prep. I used gardaip 1on1 session and it's brilliant. I would highly recommend it i went into the interview with a confidence boost after GardaIp session.. https://www.gardaip.com

Heya. If your training especially for the bleep, sit ups and pushups. You should have no prob with it. I didn’t do any specific training for the obstacle course and just before it I was speaking to the instructor (because we watch the person ahead of us go first). I was asked if I’d passed part A and I had and they said I’ll have no prob so. Advice I’d give is just to go all out, it’s a short amount of time so push yourself. I’d suggest taking your time going around the cones, balance beem etc (so you don’t fall. If you do you have to restart that part) and then go fast after them. At the end sprint as fast as you can. Don’t go too fast on the stairs early on, it killed my legs by the third lap haha.

I did 2 PT sessions a week for 4 weeks before my fitness test and 1 sprinting/run session. I was also doing a C25K program.

Try and enjoy it!

Has anyone from batch 5 received a call to begin on February 20th? I've met with the superintendent and passed the medical just waiting on a call now to begin.

Thank you so much

Hi I was wondering if anyone is doing physical exams on the 13th Feb? I'm based in Dublin I was thinking we could rent a car together or if someone has a car I could pay for gas. Is there a whatsapp for batch 7?

Hi lads does anyone know what happens if u fail the fitness test do u get another go at it? Or do u come back after a few weeks?

I opened mine in a word document. You have to make a copy of it then you can edit it. Hope it makes sense @emmak123

I think they’d maybe take it in to consideration if you’re extremely fit and lean? If not you’re given three months to get your BMI down. I did this and just had review yesterday.

Hey! @Clono Did you hear anything back about the checks yet? I’m in the same boat!
