    Yeah I had heard originally it was to be 9 intakes of 42 to make up 378. Just hoping that they'll have added an extra one as they haven't taken as many as expected in the first 6/7

    I was speaking to the head of physical dept at the fam day. She said this PCA in Nov is the last group to go through and then a mop up in the new year for medical deferrals. It's simple maths. There's 378 spaces advertised. They've been taking groups of 40-45. That's 9 intakes. I'm not trying to scare anyone but we all need to be realistic. I'm sitting on a good IST score as are a few others who need to repeat their PCA but I'm taking nothing for granted.

    "J" said that anyone left who's passed everything and hasn't got a space would be referred back to recruitment and it would be their decision. Who knows what that means. Perhaps well be offered spots in the 1405 campaign or they might do an extra intake. Who knows?! I doubt even recruitment do at this stage. But I reckon they're wanting to fill the last intake from Nov's PCA.

    Be realistic about it people and just cos you pass PCA DO NOT drop out of the 2nd campaign, I'm certainly not until I get that call with a start date!!!! Chins up my lovelies, if it's for us it won't pass us xx

    Yes. Intakes are to be scaled down to max 24 per intake. So there will be more than 3 more intakes. Intakes will continue until a full compliment of 378 has been filled, wether or not the time scale goes past the end of financial year.

    Don't imagine any extra intakes. They only need average squad size of 38 to make 378 from the next groups starting from November intake.

    I was under the impression there was 187 in as of September which would reflect 5 intakes so on average 37 per each. Much as I would like to believe there will be more past experience of this process teaches you to err on the side of cynicism!

    I'm pretty sure there will be considering so many still doing expensive medicals and the like. But just wondering what other thought.

    I'd say they would try to get as much as possible from this and the next campaign, with future campaigns looking unlikely with the way budget cuts are coming in. I know Stormont secured a loan from the treasury, but this will only result in future debt and probably more cuts.

    It's definitely not that simple,there is only likely to be another couple or so intakes and there are a significant number of people still waiting

    I dnt get why they would refer candidates bk to recruitment who are deemed qualified and capable for garnerville having passed all aspects of the tests Including costly medicals and begin the process all over again with new candidates. If after 14 months of biten finger nails I was to be knocked bk at this stage I think id crack up!

    That's what she told me :/

    Btw you have to have everything passed at least 4 weeks before the calls go out to be eligible for selection and that illusive call
