Garda Reserve Recruitment 2024

Category A (Top Third): 558 or above
Category B (Middle Third): 475-557
Category C (Lower Third): 300-475

Average Score: 500.68

My score is 547 and was placed 66x on OOM. So there must have been dozens of people scoring in and around 550 mark.

They don't want to give their exact number or else their identity could be figured out if you were in the Gardai and had access to the applicant's results.

Emails out requesting information about nationality, education results, and what you work at. Getting ready for interviews.

I sent the photo of the passport page. I think they wanted that even if you are Irish.

Out of intrest anyone in the high 200's or even into the 300's OOM get an interview?

Moderator. Can this post I posted be deleted please and thank you.

Well, did they tell you that those results would not be enough?

Feck, I gave them my results for a masters degree, and they came back to me and wanted my leaving cert results as well if I wanted to proceed in the process.

i am hoping to be in the next set of interviews but i did my leaving cert so long ago i couldnt even tell you what i passed or failed.

I did get 120 credits on the framework for a cert so im hoping that is enough

You have me worried now, all I have a level 6 Advanced Certificate but from what i can see is it is worth 120 credits. Don't understand how if a masters is only worth 90 (45 to them)

Very strange

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What are the educational requirements?
Candidates must have obtained;
 an Irish Leaving Certificate with a grade D3 or O6 minimum in five subjects at Ordinary Level*, or
 hold a minimum of a Level 5 Major award (120 Credits) on the National Framework of Qualifications (NFQ), or
 hold a recognised qualification (at Level 5 or greater), deemed comparable to the
above in terms of both level and volume of learning as determined by Quality
and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)

So, one would think that your Degree is a "recognised qualification (at Level 5 or greater), deemed comparable to the above in terms of both level and volume of learning as determined by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)" (as stated above) and at least comparable to a pass leaving cert (I presume Irish of Enflish must be passed in the same LC?).

I'd definitely be quering that with AGS recruitment/Public Jobs i.e that your Degree should be acceptable to them in regard to reaching the 'educational requirements'.

Best of luck, hope it works out for you.

Personally I'd think it bonkers if they don't think a recoginised Degree from a recoginised College/Uni s not enough……from an educational requirement.

However maybe the type of Degree may be a factor…..Furniture Design for e.g may not be acceptable!

I think, for me, it might be the fact that I had no degree. I did a masters over two years. So the masters was 90 credits. But they only looked at year one, and they thought it was 45 credits and then asked me for my leaving cert results from a long time ago :). I would imagine someone with a masters who had a degree done before it, would have a huge amount of credits. I was able to do a masters without a degree due to my life experience.
