    The bleep test is fine, just take it slow at the start and it's a walk in the park!

    Having said that a few people did fail it when I did the test last week.

    Hey Guys! A little off topic, have the fitness on the 13th, does anyone know from past experiences after the fitness test if we are allowed showers etc? Have a family social event to go to afterwards is all.

    That’s so much! Can I ask how you prepared for your bleep test? Hope you’re went well

    There's showers there in the changing room. Nobody used them from what I could see but I see no reason why you couldn't use them when you're finished.

    There were 3 groups of 7 when I was there last week. Started at 9, I'd say all the groups were done by just after 2. Then they take you over for drug testing and take a sample of your hair. I was on my way hone before 3. Some were gone earlier, some slightly later.

    Was 2 weeks I think for Batch 1 and nearly 3 weeks for Batch 2! I was in Batch 2 and was almost 3 weeks for me. Could be quicker / longer depending on when your interview is during the timeframe. Best of luck

    everyone here that has had their interview. How many days before it do they send you your written exercise. Also does everyone receive it?

    Those who have done the fitness test or are training for it, how are you all training for the obstacle course?
    Would be great to do a mock one

    I think you can do a trial run in Templemore or at least they let you go down and see how it is all done. I think someone put up here a while back that you can go down, not sure how it is organised though. Hopefully someone will come back to you on this and let you know.

    I think if you were in a position to pass it prior to the injury, as long as the injury isnt too bad you should still be able to pass it i would personally think

    I do a lot of HITT stuff anyway and just practicing the bleep test. Haven’t really done any work on the obstacle course so hoping it won’t be too bad. Some other people on here mentioned they got offered a trial run but I received very little notice. Informed on the 1st of July that my PCT was on the 13th. They seem to be racing through this recruitment campaign.

    I wonder are they trying to get each batch vetted separately to prevent big build ups? Batch 1 had their forms in weeks prior to PCT so its strange

    Yeah it is strange. Honestly can't make sense of how they're doing it. Hopefully its like you suggested and its each batch separately.

    I’m the same. Sent my ID in Wednesday of last week, still haven’t heard anything. Placed in the 50’s in OOM. Was hoping to go down to do the trial run but there doesn’t seem to be any word on that either

    Did you receive the email about the Form B for vetting? It gave an example of Form B and stated that the actual one would be sent out shortly. In the email in bold it asks for you to send a copy of your ID to confirm your DOB.

    That does seem like something went wrong. You surely should have gotten the form B email if you passed the interview stage.

    How's everyone fixed for tomorrow? I think i'm good for the bleep test and push ups its the sit-ups that are killing me. 37 in a minute is tough enough.

    Take your time between push ups and sit ups is my main advise… I went from one straight into another and was fine but definitely made it more difficult

    If you fail fitness do you repeat same day or different day

    Quick question for you guys in the know around Garda recruitment

    Years ago, fresh out of college I was found in possession of a personal quantity of cannabis. A seriously stupid mistake in my youth that I very much regret, it is my sole encounter with the Gardaí

    I was of course fully cooperative at all times, wrote a letter of apology to the Garda etc

    I received a district court summons for it but never actually went before a judge - given it was my first and only offence the Garda dropped the charges, so I received no conviction and have no criminal record

    I have a couple of retired Gardaí in my family and had always thought about joining but never acted upon it. Lately I find myself thinking about it a lot.

    I’ve realised I’d like to take the plunge and actually finally go for it….

    I guess my question is, am I dreaming thinking they’ll even look twice at me? As I said I’ve no actual criminal record but I imagine my case from those years ago would still come up on pulse? If possible I’d like to avoid the months of waiting and hoping if it’s all pointless because ultimately they’ll never realistically consider me anyway

    Thanks a million

    I have heard of Guards who had similar experiences to you. Go for it, yes it will come up on pulse but worth the shot 😊

    hi, I saw a comment on here that in the medical we will have an eye test… I am short eye sighted and wear glasses at specific times, some people said you might need to get laser eye surgery? What really?? Would the glasses you use not suffice?



  • #549
    Louise2024
    Registered Users Posts: 40 ✭Louise2024


    Nope. If you fail the eyesight test they give you a time frame to get laser eye surgery

    Are they strict on the time with the situps? They give 1 minute to complete x amount but wondering if your 1 or 2 off would they give you it?
