Dublin Fire service recruitment? Anyone know??

GravyD · 13-07-2023 10:49pm

Anyone in the know or close to goings on heard anything about the likelihood of Class 2 starting in January?

Class 1 suspended for a MINIMUM of 3 weeks due to issues with instructors. This will delay class 1/2023 pass out date and class 2/2023 start date.

I know it seems obvious but is the start date for class 2 definitely delayed? The only reason I ask is the paramedics course for class 1 is still due to start on October 9th as of yesterday.

From what I've heard class 1 paramedic start date has not changed. It seems to be an issue with BA instructors. Some of class 1 have enough to be sent out out to station but it might not go that far. They're hoping it will only be a 3 week delay but could go on longer. I can't imagine class 2 starting in early October. I would guess that too could be pushed back to match class 1's break or into January to secure instructors.

I agree it is hard to see an early October start at this point. A recruit on course 1 was telling me that the last 3 weeks of the course were a refreshing and prep time for the passing out day so if that is scraped for the moment maybe that’s how they can still condense course 1 in the timeframe but that’s assuming it will only be a 3 week suspension I suppose. We will have to see what happens 👍

DFB paramedics mcq & osce are booked for 15,16,17th January 2024

murmurrrr · 21-07-2023 2:12pm

Wondering if people have received their date for the physical assessments yet? My medical etc is completed and passed

GravyD · 21-07-2023 2:17pm

When did you get notified of the medical? I wasn't sure if I'd be in class 3 or scrape into class 2, that probably confirms I'm in class 3🤣

Medicals for class 2 are more a less finished. Physicals start in August. I think they're being done over the middle 2 weeks

GravyD · 21-07-2023 2:39pm

Ah brilliant, that's good to know, I can stop speculating for the next few months and get on with it

ROAAAR · 21-07-2023 4:54pm

When did you do your medical and how long were you waiting on the results?

Ciaran20041329 · 23-07-2023 12:01pm

Anyone know which OOM class 2 stops at?

SAXA999 · 24-07-2023 8:59pm

GravyD · 25-07-2023 5:24pm

Anyone who has recently just done the medical, is the eyesight test still the Keystone Test or is there more elements to it?

murmurrrr · 25-07-2023 8:25pm

Yeah its the keystone test and then the ishihara test book for colourblindness

Ahar86 · 28-07-2023 6:24am

Unfortunately didn’t make it through the medical myself due to colour blindness.Has anyone on here gone through the same and managed to find a way around it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

@ahar86

Really sorry to hear man after all the effort .

Do u mind me asking what number on the panel u were?

Ahar86 · 28-07-2023 5:34pm

Ye tough one to take alright. I would have been in class 2 . Between 60 and 80 OOM

akdhen · 28-07-2023 7:17pm

Thanks man .

Best of luck going forward if u got yourself to that point no doubt you'll smash whatever comes next .

Jakeee19 · 02-08-2023 12:28pm

Speaking of eye tests lads, has anyone here done it before with contact lenses or anyone planning to? I don't currently wear them but notice the eyes aren't what they used to be

dylans10 · 10-08-2023 2:57am

I was emailing HR and they said the second class will be starting Oct 9th, I asked when this will be officially announced, and they didnt say but said that it will be Oct 9th.

shezzer · 14-08-2023 10:38pm

Does anyone know what OOM the panel is currently at now after calling class 2?

GravyD · 15-08-2023 3:06pm

I'd be curious about this too, the information booklet we received at the start of the campaign had parameters for "Corrected" vision so surely that means contacts are permitted for the test, anyone know?

kend85 · 17-08-2023 12:21pm

Does anyone have any idea why the second course is delayed two weeks?

Anon456123 · 19-08-2023 1:28pm

Passed the CPSA about a week ago give or take, email following passing the CPSA says start date for class 2 is October 23rd. Good luck anyone yet to do the physical.

akdhen · 20-08-2023 10:09pm

Do you mind me asking what panel number you are?
