Is Occupational Health someone you had to get in contact with regarding the process of your Medical results? I competed my medical with CHI, Corporate Health Ireland

Just got an email response about this:

“We have not received your medical report (generally expect to take 10 weeks before it’s returned from the Chief Medical Officer but can take longer) & your background checks are ongoing.

We cannot give a specific timeline, each application is taken on a case by case basis and are unique in completion times.

Should all facets of your application be successful, we will contact you with an intake date.”

Got my offer there the other day really felt like I had been forgotten about. I passed everything medical back and stuff early last December. Last nine months calling every week just getting the same “background check” answer. Don’t throw the towel in the call will come

So emails out I hear? Start date 16th.

If anyone is driving from North Dublin and has a spare seat in lieu of petrol and coffee money, pm me please

Calls were being made last few weeks. Emails now.

Betty16 · 15-09-2023 9:51am

Is there a WhatsApp group for the October intake?

Only got the call the other day for an offer and you finished everything early last December. Wow that is shocking, were there issues with the medical/background check or something? That seems way worse in comparison to other people's progress. Can I ask what Batch you are? October intake for you I presume?

Iphone1923 · 15-09-2023 9:52pm

How long is the wait time, if you had to send in BMI results just sent mine in today

BernieShark · 18-09-2023 2:28pm

Hi,

I got my meeting with my local sergeant on Wednesday. Does anybody have any advice?

Also, is this near the end of the recruitment process?

Sergeant meeting is quite informal, literally only looks over your form B and makes sure it’s filled in correctly. That was my experience anyway.

you’ll also have a meeting with a superintendent at some point after your sgt meeting. This is a bit more formal and is to get a sense of your character so as they can recommend you for the role. This is the end of the recruitment process but not nearly the end.. vetting will likely take an unknown number of months. Good luck

emmak123 · 20-09-2023 12:46pm

Anyone get any offers recently?

andreafarrelly00 · 20-09-2023 1:59pm

Got no updates. Just that my background checks are "still ongoing" and that they haven't received my Medical results yet from the Chief Medical Offer. Other than that, radio silence.

shaneos436 · 20-09-2023 5:25pm

Can anyone provide a rough estimate as to when they received an offer from receiving confirmation that their medical was satisfactory?

Conor123456 · 22-09-2023 7:32pm

Got my offer today for October 16th after applying march 2022 and having everything done since start of the year

When you sent the email accepting the offer did you get a response of any kind? I didn't so just hope they got it.

Conor123456 · 23-09-2023 9:20am

Didn’t email them yet they told me take the weekend and think about it going in this batch or next one,

Conor123456 · 23-09-2023 9:21am

Any one know if it’s different for people that have kids doing the Garda college ? Like doe you have to stay there Monday to Friday or can you skip off home early on a Friday or anything like this ?

JM7215 · 23-09-2023 9:26am

@Conor123456 no difference. Your there all day, for the week

Grace259 · 24-09-2023 7:47pm

Everyone has to live there Mon to Fri but you can go home on the weekends as far as I know

osk112 · 24-09-2023 10:31pm

Yes the weekends are free from classes for students to head home as for now

PCO2019 · 24-09-2023 10:36pm

The next intake commences on the 16-10-23 and on the 23-12-23 it will be week 10/11, will the college close for a few days, a week or two weeks ?

Good question I was thinking about that recently because of christmas/new years

Conor123456 · 26-09-2023 12:25pm

Does anyone know the time off for Xmas ?

bobbyD1978 · 26-09-2023 6:30pm

You get public holidays when in training so you will only go down Tuesday night that week

andreafarrelly00 · 28-09-2023 3:41pm

Hey guys,

Just got an email regarding my Medical Assessment saying "additional information is required prior to making a final decision on your medical fitness for recruitment", and basically that "an opticians or eye specialist report is requested" – has anyone else experienced this or gotten this email? Is it a good or bad sign? Or did any of you have any issues after submitting the optician's report or was everything else fine and they allowed you to move on with the training process?

hoops67 · 28-09-2023 5:46pm

I got this same email. Getting the opticians report is essentially confirming that you failed the eyesight requirement, unless you are very borderline which is in and around -1.5. If your prescription is any more than -1.5 your options are to get laser eye surgery or you won’t get into the guards. I got laser in the end and it was the best thing I ever did. It was quite expensive but well worth it.

g_or97 · 29-09-2023 1:55pm

I got that too, the opticians report said I had 20/20 vision and got an email a week or two later saying I’d passed the medical.

andreafarrelly00 · 29-09-2023 1:58pm

Oh, how did the opticians report say you’d 20/20 vision if you originally failed on your eye test during the medical assessment??
