    Where we all given the same written scenario does anyone know? I'm going over everything in preparation for the interview and in error I didnt make note of the scenario we were given. Could anyone please remind me. Thanks.



  • Registered Users Posts: 54 ✭✭Murphy2024


    Not sure if we all got the same. But they will send you out your written exercise along with your answer a few days before your interview.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3 smasher71


    Thanks so much for replying. That's great. You know when you start doubting yourself 🫣



  • Registered Users Posts: 18 gympluscoffee


    let me know when you get your date 👍🏻



  • Registered Users Posts: 7 dedalus7


    yea I got a respond for my medical results, they said they want me to provide newer forms from my specialist over a medical condition, hoping it’s not going to delay things much further, as for the vetting I’ve not heard a thing in months



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 aod214


    Has anyone from batch 3 received the link to fill out form b, if so what oom were you after the interview, im 149 and still haven’t received a link so i dont know what the story is

    I’m 50 OOM and haven’t received it yet. It can take up to two weeks from the date of your interview results, but start filling out the provisional one they sent with the email you received with your interview results so you have all your info collect for when you get the formal form B email.



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 aod214




  • Registered Users Posts: 28 Paddy77


    No I’m still waiting also for form b,I just got the invite to do the trial fitness test in 2 weeks in the college.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Prcm


    Yeah, i'm from batch 2, oom 44 or something, still waiting for my pct. Can't say that I am in a rush, the later the better I guess.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1 Gunners637


    Hi everyone , about to do the stage 2 interview but I am just wondering does anyone have any experience going through this process with past penalty points? Are they an issue for the vetting stage? Had 2 speeding tickets about 4 years ago marginally over the limit but also earlier this year drove a car with the nct and tax out 3 days and got fined for this. Very silly i know, was a saturday morning and was dropping the girlfriend to work less than 3km from the house and was seen by a undercover guard. Anyway will this hinder my progress? Any opinion would be appreciated or advice would be appreciated.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 GraceJulia98


    Nothing in interview asks about previous convictions or previous points.
    On Form B it only asks if you have any convictions or over 9 penalty points (I think)

    It won’t hinder your process. Also if you got the other ones 4 years ago they are off your licence now

    Guys anyone that already had the medical examination. Could please tell us what the doctor will check on you ?



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 Grayzer1979


    Blood pressure, height, weight, hearing, eyes, feels your stomach etc, tells you to squat, touch your nose with eyes closed and asks a load of questions that you just answer no to and a urine sample.

    Did anyone from batch 3 get the form b yet? How long after interview results did others wait to receive it?

    Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    just got mine today and it has to be submitted by next Friday.

  • Registered Users Posts: 28 Paddy77


    I got my Form B today also,wonder how long we will be waiting for fitness test.



  • Registered Users Posts: 16 Bena100


    I got my form B. Just starting it now. Lots in it.

    I'm unsure what to put in the 'academic reference' section. I'm in my 40's so left school a while back ! Did an apprenticeship so they wouldn't remember me. Unsure of who to put as a reference. Any suggestions?!

    Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 32 mld20


    Get in touch with your secondary school or where u did the apprenticeship, I’m sure when u explain they would be happy to give a reference. Both options would have a record of you attending.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Bigboy24


    hi guys. Just a quick question. I know I’ve seen it before but I’m just not sure. I’ve received my form B but I have know knowledge of my relatives that live abroad. If I get an affidavit will that be enough? Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 32 mld20




  • Registered Users Posts: 13 Hardman29


    For the references in form b can u get a reference from your current employer and how could u get a reference from another employer if you only had one job ever



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    it states on the form that if you have never had a job or only one job etc…you can get a reference else where, I would presume a neighbour, GP, someone else in your community and then the reference from your current employer also. So it’s a reference from school/college, your employer, (as you are currently working there) two people from your community would be suffice.



  • Registered Users Posts: 22 aod214


    May be a silly question but for the passport sized photo, do you have to make any adjustments to the size if it or is it literally just a photo of your head and shoulders behind a clear background



  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Bigboy24


    hi again. I’ve just been to a solicitor to ask to get an affidavit (no knowledge of distant relatives). They don’t do them. They said something like - I need to print out the form or document or ask my local Garda station for a form to fill out… how do I proceed from here? Thanks in advance



  • Registered Users Posts: 54 ✭✭Murphy2024


    I had the same issue. I had my current employer as my two references. I emailed them and asked about it but they didn't get back to me until after i had uploaded the B form. They said they would accept two general references in that case. They told me that they are unable to contact your current employer at this stage of the process. They said when they get to that section of my B form they would contact me about getting new references.

    I think I saw that you have to go to a commisioner of oaths, im not 100% sure, basically signing off on a document you write that what you’re saying is true etc.. Dont quote me on that so id say go to the station and get clarification from them



  • Registered Users Posts: 6 Bigboy24


    will do. Thank you



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 96 ✭✭XabiAlonso22


    I heard three 49 year olds started in templemore in the first batch of the extended age limits.

    Fair play to them.



  • Registered Users Posts: 39 psb1


    3 x 49 year olds ? Is this for the 2024 campaign?



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 HDM1798


    Just wondering if anyone from batch 3 is still waiting on Form B and/or PCT date? I haven't gotten either of them yet. Would Public Jobs let us know if there was some eligibility problem? TIA.



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    what was your number of merit? I think it depends on that. 50 is my number of merit and I’m batch 3



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


    Has they taken in people already from the current competition? That was quick.

    I was 38...



  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    I’d give public jobs an email or email the HRPD.gardatrainee.info@garda.ie. as I think they take over the campaign once you pass your interview.
    no harm in just double checking with them.

  • Registered Users Posts: 75 ✭✭Tra112


    no worries, nothing worse then waiting around..



  • Registered Users Posts: 13 Hardman29


    Can you get a reverance from your superviser in the place where u work as they are not your employer



  • Registered Users Posts: 5 EOD1982


    Hi. I'm in similar situation to yourself. Scored in top 20 OOM in Batch 3 and have heard nothing since. i just sent an email to Garda HR.



  • Registered Users Posts: 39 psb1
