    Got my date for PCT on 26th. Has anyone been able to reschedule their fitness test? I have an injury at the moment and not sure if gonna be ok in 2 weeks..



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    I’m sure if you’re doctor signs you off as unfit for the test arm you’ll be able to reschedule!



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 Grayzer1979


    Different day. There were a few people on my day repeating different parts of the test.

    Is this 100% true?

    I've done my medical, passed everything apart from the eyes. Better than 20/20 vision with contacts but I am well below minimum standard without them.

    Just waiting on word back from it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    Yes, they give you a time frame to correct it (e.g laser eye surgery)



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 carolinecuffs


    Hello Guys, can anyone advise for PCT is it acceptable/required to arrive in sports gear or did you arrive in casual/formal clothing then change for testing ? Thanks .

    Hi everyone

    Just a heads up if you are still waiting on Garda Hr to get in contact with you if you have passed stage 2 and haven't heard from them in few weeks after results. Email public jobs make use all your documentation you sent In are OK as I emailed yesterday and they told me they needed more information about my QQI CERT, I did all the paperwork on 15th May but they still have wrong letter on file. Only that I chased up properly wouldn't have never told me.

    Good luck



  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Smooth6


    I also that that message today, but haven’t been able to book a slot. Nothing is coming up in my bookings part. Does anyone know what I should do?



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    Does it say anything in your message when the bookings are open? If it’s supposed to be open and not on your public jobs account to book then email them asap!



  • Registered Users Posts: 39 psb1


    Just curious has anyone on here failed the PCT and are awaiting a re test date?



  • Registered Users Posts: 39 psb1


    Just curious has anyone on here failed the PCT and are now awaiting a retest date? Wondering how long they give u to prepare for the retest?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Tampora88


    I just went into my bookings and it allowed me to book a date and time if ot doesn't appear for you I would send off a load of emails



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 Grayzer1979


    Can arrive in your sports gear. Everyone on mine did. You could alternatively change if you wanted, but why bother.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Dean505


    anyone know how long the rescheduling batch for interview would be my internet went halfway through my initial interview I’m thinking about going travelling for a bit and unsure how long I’d be waiting

    would anyone be able to tell me I had my interview 2 weeks ago I’m in Batch 3 1014 on merit when do I get the results or how long does it take ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭RarePhilosophy


    For me , results would be around 2 weeks after the final interview of you batch.

    PCT would be around 6-8weeks afterwards if estimate . YMMV . Best of luck



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 179 ✭✭RarePhilosophy


    Go for it. But just be sure to declare everything as they will have a record of your arrest / or the incident and if you don’t declare it on your Form B you will be disqualified.

    You need to declare all police interactions regardless if convicted or not. Best of luck with everything.



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 Grayzer1979


    Well got the dreaded news back from Occupational Health unit. Eyes unaided not good enough but with lenses they're 20/20.

    Just hope I'm suitable for laser or it's the end of the road for me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    Try Optical Express. I had a consult with them recently.



  • Registered Users Posts: 34 racheldowney2


    anyone know what number of merit their at now for the interviews. Was told there gonna stop interviews in August but some people still haven’t been called.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4 lee03united


    any idea when the last interview in batch 3 would be or to find out as mine was 3rd of July ??



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    last day for batch 3 interviews was Friday 12th of July and I was told we would know in 7 to 10 day’s time..



  • Registered Users Posts: 2 craigh88


    I have consultation booked with optilase pre medical the hard part is finding €4000 to pay for it wasn't planning on using savings I had organised for 6 months training,best of luck



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    Optical express do free consultations to see if you are eligible for laser eye surgery. You only pay if you want the procedure. 6 months to decide.

  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    Yeah I’m in the same boat. Mine were quoted more and it’s killing me if I fail this medical 🤢



  • Registered Users Posts: 21 Red devil 77


    I done mine with optilase in cork you can pay monthly over 3 years makes it a bit easier to afford.



  • Registered Users Posts: 40 Louise2024


    Same with Optical Express!

    Hi, does anyone here have tattoos (non visible)

    I have one on my upper forearm and was told by current members of an Garda Siochana it won’t matter as it’s not on my wrist/hand/face/neck.

    On my form B it is asking to send pictures of any tattoos on my arm. I’m panicking now as I was told if you had tattoos on your arm it was ok you just had to cover them at all times.



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    as far as I know, once they are not visible, ie. Face, neck etc you should be okay..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,982 ✭✭✭billyhead


    I've seen serving members with tattoos on their arms.



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 aod214


    Anyone thats done their PCT, how strict where they on form for exercises like the situps, i.e did they not count the rep if your hands came off your head



  • Registered Users Posts: 8 kevmac07


    Situps are the part I'm dreading, suffer with lower back pain so I struggle with them,just hoping on the day my back holds up for 1 minute or it's game over for me 😢



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39 sligo98


    Hi, They are fairly strict to be fair …the sergeant is very particular



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 lee03united


    has anyone got results of the interview in batch 3 ?



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    no, they said 7 to 10 days after batch 3 interviews are completed, last interviews were last Friday 12th, so hopefully early next week they might be out..



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 AislingH2002


    Are you allowed notes with your competency examples at the interview?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 GraceJulia98


    No you are not



  • Registered Users Posts: 10 Don96


    Hi Rachel,

    why are they stopping the interviews in august, as in they will have recruited the amount needed for this year, will the rest who have not yet been called by then, be called next year or how does it work?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 GraceJulia98


    Maybe they’re taking August off for holidays? Hopefully not the case of them stopping for longer



  • Registered Users Posts: 8 Darceyrocco


    surly they just stopping for holidays in august and then will Continue as even with interviews to date they can’t be sure those will pass medical , fitness etc so surly they will keep going can anyone clarify , thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 32 mld20


    How long does it take for them to notify you if you have passed or failed the medical?



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 aod214


    anyone from batch 3 get results for the interview?



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    should be this week, they said 7 to 10 after batch 3 was completed and they finished up on the Friday, 12th of July.
