Student paramedic 2024

Also regarding some discussion regarding regions. While some regions have shortfalls, a lot of the traditionally struggling regions such as the South East are filling up very fast. Some stations are now nearly at capacity or over capacity. Don't expect to get your home station. Some people are stations 1.5 hours away form their home even in regions where there are shortfalls.

3-4 years ago but I'm mentoring current paramedics so as far as I'm aware it hasn't changed much.

I just know people i trained with, and I still hear of new students making the mistake of thinking the first year is all in the college and going off looking for rentals.

oh at least we are all in the same position. I also applied to the EMC role and got feedback on that one late last week . Given that the deadline for that was just before the student paramedic one we can’t be too far off .

Think they are having some issues though as it said on the EMC response that they were hoping to do a typing test online but this was no longer possible so they had to revert with a date/time and venue for an in person test instead 🫠

Student paramedic follow on emails out last night :) Looks like psychometric tests to be completed online with the testing window opening w/c June 10th and closing the Friday of that week. Apparently a very large volume of applicants which is why they changed the format from in person to online

I got an invite for the aptitude awell. Do we need the provisional C licence done now if we pass the aptitude?

Hi, nope. I'm starting Ballinasloe Sept 2nd and I still don't have the full C only provisional. Test is soon

Planning to travel. It's about 2 hours for me so no different than my current 12-16 hour days. Maybe airbnb some of it too. It's only 20 weeks so it isn't as bad as a whole year

I doubt you can get the results even though it would be nice. They are more for familiarisation so it won't be a shock on the day you do it.

my interview was in a hotel just outside Athlone last year!

I think the results for the aptitute were out within a week! They post them so make sure they have your right address!

Did anyone do the aptitude yet. I went into the link and done it, but it was the same as the practice tests i done last week? The topbox story and the letters and number in the squares.

Best of luck with the results🤞. I

Did anyone get an email recommendation to proceed today for Ballinasloe on Sept 2nd for response by tmrw at 12?

Seems to be a 2nd batch of offers out to some that may have responded yes to the first email and then heard nothing.

Hey I emailed them because I was wondering the same around 16:00, the response was they are working through the results and hopefully have them out before the end of the week

o that’s great to hear, you are all in the same boat. I was wondering & checking my phone all day! Thanks for that.

yea I’m the same , must be an overall issue

Just got my result and I passed. Best of luck on the retake and those that were unsuccessful keep applying.

Best of luck to those retaking the test

Im needing to do a retest , how does one know if the proctor is watching this time ?

Do they show up on screen ?

Any help appreciated

Just done the retest , feel less confident with verbal reasoinng this time around 🥲

Was the same as before. Top box ltd

Heya ppl.

I got my result of the aptitude test and i thankfully passed. Just wondering after the interview.

How it all works.

Im from dublin and Tallaght would be my only option as I've a young family.

Questions.

1. does each college run a course ever year.
2. Would it be this September for tallaght
3. If I'm offered say cork and i turned it down can I wait till tallaght comes back around.

Wont be this September. As there's still a recruitment class be for you ((I'm on that panel eating to be cald up))

So this year was a strange one that only seme to be after running one calls but the year be for that ran 3 so no one relay now's what the plan is .

When the experience of intrst comes out you select the one you want and if you don't get it you go back on the panel for example I got a email for blanslow I didn't want that so I didn't respond I'm still on the panel.

Alsow just to say currently it's only talagah ,banslow, tullamore are the colaged. Cork is the university but form what I now you don't relay go down thare

Sory meant to take you in the above

just took the retest & definitely more nervous & second guessing my answers.
there was another email just sent out regarding supporting documents but there is no mention this time regarding the ndls. It’s on the email attachment that you got with the date of assessment. They tell you the documents they are looking for.
