  • Registered Users Posts: 35 GravyD


    Howdy folks. Anybody who has done the chester step test before. I know you have to finish with a score of at least 42 but do they stop the test if you go over 80% of your Max Heart Rate



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 akdhen


    Anybody any info on when class 3 will get called for medical?



  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    Not sure, think class 2 started today.

    Any idea when the next medicals are ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 Sailing___


    Does anyone know do they check your licence again for endorsements if you are in the medical/ physical stages and next steps to training?



  • Registered Users Posts: 35 GravyD


    Any word on medicals yet?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1 Ben2023


    I just got an email yesterday about medical and fitness. Anyone know if you get a repeat fitness if you fail?



  • Registered Users Posts: 294 ✭✭kingstevii


    You are joking right? Here's a crazy idea. Get fit.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 230 ✭✭surrender monkey


    If you fail your fitness test or your medical you are out of the competition altogether.

    Got my invite to medical and all that the other day. Can't wait now👊🏻 Anybody know if we will receive more specific info about the CPSA or is it just the info we got in the original recruitment pack?



  • Registered Users Posts: 37 SAXA999


    Class still on track for March start and class 4 will be October, that will exhaust the panel. Good chance there'll be another recruitment driver early 2025



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 CGCAN05


    Can I ask how much notice you got for the Medical? Best of luck with it!



  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    Do you get a confirmation email when you send in the information requested.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1 pfttttttt


    Guys has anyone heard of anyone in the 150s being called to medical yet? Trying to figure out how far along they are is proving quite difficult



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 Pilky01


    Do people think they’ll be a recruitment drive in 2024?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 CGCAN05


    There is talk I believe of another drive in 2025.



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 CGCAN05


    How much notice for the medical did you get? Best of luck with it!



  • Registered Users Posts: 1 sean_514777

    Anyone receive a date for medical yet?



  • Registered Users Posts: 35 GravyD


    Well folks, anybody who has completed their medical, have you had any official correspondence yet or are they ongoing?



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 CGCAN05


    Do they not tell you on the day if you passed or not? I thought they did.



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 akdhen


    It's run externally they just pass on the information . However I believe if you had a major issue you would probably hear on the day



  • Registered Users Posts: 15 Frezno23


    I’ve passed the medical and have a date for early January for the fitness test. They didn’t tell me if I passed or failed the medical they just said “you should be good”. Bit of an anxious wait really but at least can polish up for the fitness.



  • Registered Users Posts: 9 CGCAN05


    Well done! Thanks for letting us know how it's being done. Best of luck with the fitness!

    Yeah same here, was told nothing at the medical but recieved an email about a week later inviting me to the physical in January.



  • Registered Users Posts: 25 Wowthatscrazy


    Any word on how high they’ve gone with the panel numbers



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 akdhen


    Guys has anyone gotten a drivers statement before?

    I got one and it says it does not disclose information regarding penalty points etc. I have a full clean lisence but I'm just wondering if I need an additional piece of info clarifying this? Or have I enough



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 shezzer


    I emailed info@ndls.ie requesting a driver statment with my driver number pps and date of birth and was sent back in a week to me with all the information points etc on it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    If you have no points on your licence it won't be on your drivers statement, it will only have what ever ponts you have and the reason why the points are there, no nct for example 3 points.

    Hey folks, anyone know how long the physical generally lasts from the time you walk in till the time you finish? Just working out the logistics and that

  • Registered Users Posts: 12 C_mc




  • Registered Users Posts: 35 GravyD


    Yeah, they flew through it. Can't wait now



  • Registered Users Posts: 12 C_mc


    Well done cya on the first day



  • Registered Users Posts: 25 Wowthatscrazy


    Just got an email for class 3 possible call up.


    im in the 170s, so if you didn’t get an invite back in December, check your inbox 👍🏻



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 330 ✭✭giseva


    I'm in a similar position, 170s and might have a call up. I've been applying since 2006! I'm PDF and a pre 2013 Public Servant so I've different pension entitlements AFAIK. I've heard previously that 3/4 of my service will carry over for pension purposes only. Given that the retirement age is 55, and the state pension isn't available until 66, if it's even available at all in the future, I'd be curious to know how people survive on the DFB pension, particularly new entrants. It has always been a dream job but unfortunately kids, mortgage, bills etc don't run on dreams. I know it's not a job for the money, but money is a significant factor in life. There was an agreement a couple of years ago allowing DFB members serve to 60 pending medicals, is that still a thing? An extra 5 years service makes a big difference!



  • Registered Users Posts: 25 Wowthatscrazy


    I hear ya mate. this was my second application. with funds/pension maybe a "B" job wouldn't be a bad shout.

    Dream career over here too.

    Anyone received an email with start date/offer of placement on the course after passing medical/cpas



  • Registered Users Posts: 16 zeroMac


    Is the up coming class gonna be the last class for the current panel?



  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Shamrock12


    No it's not there is going to be 4 classes in total, there is 216 jobs going, class 3 is going ahead in March, they have started emailing people who are supposed to be called for class 4, to see if they are interested in starting class 3 instead of waiting, and if you are interested if spaces become available for class 3 then you could be called upon.



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 akdhen


    My employer only got the email for reference yesterday so hopefully all going well next week will be an offer/contract



  • Registered Users Posts: 17 PacePower89


    Any rough idea what number the order of merit at the end of class 3 is currently at?



  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Shamrock12


    As far as I am aware physicals are still going ahead till the end of the week, what the original number called up stopped at I don't know.

    The emails going out now for people interested in going into class 3 who should be going to class 4 is at atleast 188 but could be higher.



  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Baby S 85


    Any official offer via email received by anyone ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 35 GravyD




  • Registered Users Posts: 18 akdhen


    Hoping it's today also fingers crossed
