Garda Siochana Recruitment 2024

that’s not enough time to prepare

batch 2

Was 709 in OOM — had Interview on Monday 3rd July, for anyone wondering in terms of Numbers, I was in Batch 3.

No worries , yep I should have been training a lot harder for sure.

soccer fitness will hopefully carry me through :)

hey guys, haven’t done my interview yet still waiting. I know I need to prepare for the competencies but what questions were they also asking yous, if people don’t mind sharing ☺️

Hey guys, I just got my email about the form b 2 days ago. Iv'e sent my passport photo today, so I still haven't got the link with the official form b yet. I'm wondering if this has to be completed and sent in before they arrange the PCT?

Did you fill out form b? If so how long after that were you called for PCT

sorry now for all the questions. But when did you get the email about sending the pic of your ID ?

Just got my email. Have fitness 12th July too

my timeline so far

Application- January 15th 2024

Stage 1 results - March 28th

Stage 2 interview - April 17th

Stage 2 interview results- April 30th

Stage 3 PCT - June 22nd

medical - June 28th

it’s now July 3th and I’m waiting for the medical clearance and invite to sergeant interview, so it’s taken 6 months roughly from initial application to the medical, I’m 119 OOM for reference but I think that only helps you get to the stages of recruitment faster, once you’ve passed every test I believe it’s just up to vetting, some people shorter some people longer, I really don’t know when I could get called to interview or invite to college hoping all goes well, my guess for myself id say likely the end of the year.

I'd say it is, I was given the 12th of July as mine but deferred a week due to work, just email them and they will let you know 👍

Has everyone that passed the interview gotten the email from the Garda headquarters already? I placed 46 oom on batch 2, but haven't received any email yet... 😩

Am I correct in saying that people from batch two have already gotten pct dates? I seen further up someone mentioning that they got theirs for the 12th but that hardly makes sense if people are usually waiting 6 weeks until theirs considering you need a GP cert. I was 26 OOM of batch 2 so I feel like I would have gotten something by now.

Did you submit ID and then they sent it? I submitted mine yesterday but haven't gotten anything back yet

Did you have to submit your id again? I only submitted id and certs before the interview when they asked for it. Am I supposed to send something else in the meanwhile?

Yea so I got a date there too. I initially sent an email separately to GardaHR with my photo ID and I wasn't getting any word back. I then sent another email replying to the original email that asked for photo ID and I got an email back with a date for the 13th of July less than an hour later. I guess if you want to hold off to prepare more you could delay sending photo ID but I'm pretty happy to go as soon as possible.

Hey, just saw that you got an email back thanking you for sending your ID. I didn’t get that email back but I got a date for my fitness. Do you think I should email them and just clarify that they received it?

anyone who’s done the medical how strict are they on eyesight ? , not sure if I would pass that part or not

Yes you’re correct they do! I wear glasses for long distance, ok for driving though. If I fail the eyesight test I will get the laser eye surgery, crazy money though 🫠

I would say the best way to prep is to do one every day or else 5 a week on top of slow long distance running to build your aerobic base eg. A 10k run at a very ease pace, I got laser eye surgery last month in cork it was 3600 paid monthly over 3 years not the worst to be honest my vision is better than 20/20 I would recommend anyone to do it so much easier than glasses and contacts

I have VHI I think it takes 20% off which is better than nothing!

Hey, anyone that has done fitness and passed to go ahead to medical. How long do you have between both. And is it possible to change medical dates if needed? Thanks

My OOM is 1014 and I have my interview next week, I'm in batch 3, they are going through them fairly quick.
