Got the call today for my references. Hopefully were still go for the 10th! It's getting close now.

Griffindore · 06-09-2011 7:46am

Absolutely brilliant news. Great to see the process moving again, even if they are still holding back on confirming the places for October. Everyone stay positive and cross your fingers. Good luck to the Oct class and everyone waiting in the wings for Nov.

Chervill · 07-09-2011 5:52pm

References have been checked for october 10th class. My three referees have been contacted today and yesterday.

Mod note to Chervill - Please be very careful about disclosing information which could immediately identify you to your potential employers. Given that this person has no other posts on boards to date, I personally would advise that you do not reveal your number.

emtmayo · 13-09-2011 12:43pm

Thats brilliant the references have been checked for October class. Hopefully the rest of us wont be too far behind!!

moose112 · 13-09-2011 1:05pm

Just wondering if any of the guys from the oct class have got official word on a start date

redmonster · 13-09-2011 2:46pm

Hi, I was speaking to Manorhamilton this morning, not good news ..... they reckon november class wont be going ahead this year, but will be first class of 2012.... at this stage im just going to wait& pray for the letter to come!!!! they still have no idea & i dont think anyone does.....who knows it may go ahead in nov hopefully, but we should have been notified of the 2nd last week in august if that were the case

:(:(

I waiting my self haven't heard any thing since I got rang about references, I know 2 of my 3 were contacted. But I've heard nothing from hse regarding an induction day. It's getting close now.

they are leaving it fierce late for a class starting on the 10th , considering ppl at this point only have three weeks to move , get started, and get accommodation... There is nothing worse than not knowing all the time. Anyone talk to manor lately, do they have anything to say for themselves, or are they just waiting to be told as well?

Based on previous classes, how long before induction day do classes usually receive contracts to sign?

xALFAx · 20-09-2011 10:56am

I spoke to them about ten days ago and at that stage they weren't sure what was happening.

At that stage they were telling people to hold off handing in notice for current employment until they knew exactly what was happening.

bono_v · 22-09-2011 9:46am

Will the panel expire come January when it is a year old??

I wouldn't think that they would expire the panel, it would cost alot to put a new panel together. Also so far there are only about 25 trained from this panel, it would be a waste of money setting a new one up so soon.

Looks like october 10th class is not going ahead.

We have had no direct contact from the hse at all to explain to us what is happening. Its only what we hear on this thread and if we call manorhammilton every so often.

medic999 · 22-09-2011 10:50pm

The current panel will be extended but it seems the funding is not there to take in any more students for the unforeseeable future so its going to be a long slow wait i imagine. The october class should have heard at this stage so until you are sitting in the classroom i wouldn't be getting excited. There is 16 A&E nurses still waiting for their start date in UHG after going tru the interviews and being told they have a position months ago. its a disgrace of a situation and only going to get worse. The country is broke and healthcare is the main dept to suffer. Emigrate is the only answer:mad:

emtmayo · 23-09-2011 9:46am

Early next year will hopefully see the classes starting again. With the overtime costs the ambulance service have at the moment they will need more paramedics on the road to reduce this. We've gone through the hard part of getting on the panel we will get the call soon!!!!

emtmayo · 29-09-2011 11:10am

Hey anyone heard anything from manorhamilton recently??

emtmayo · 29-09-2011 4:20pm

unfortunately no i might just make the next one (barely!!) if not i will def be the one after that. Hopefully the rest of us will get the call soon.

Bang Bang · 29-09-2011 4:46pm

Great news with the new start date being announced. The best of luck to all of you and I really hope there are no more stumbling blocks between now and the 24th October.
Give your mates a shout and tell them your social life will be postponed for at least a year, but you'll see them for a pint after that:D

You will love it, enjoy the learning and your new career;)

be aware mayo EMT that people deferred places for this class and reserves were used to fill the vacancies so i have heard.. as such they were moved to the bottom of the barrel ... which essentially has bumped u and everyone else up a few places .. i have no idea how many though.. u may very well be in the next class... stay positive

medic999 · 30-09-2011 12:51am

Ya emtmayo i am like you i am delighted the class is going ahead cause i am unsure where i stand whether i will get into the next class or not, depends on the amount of drop outs or deferrels. Its great to see that its moving again, roll on next year, i wonder is there any chance of that november class going ahead maybe early december. The exam dates are still booked on the phecc website, keep the fingers crossed.:rolleyes:

stevie06 · 30-09-2011 11:57am

Just Got a Call, 1st Nov Class is going ahead in Ballinasloe. :eek:

subscriber · 30-09-2011 1:27pm

redmonster · 30-09-2011 3:17pm

Green11 · 30-09-2011 4:07pm

Been following for a while, brilliant news delighted for all of you that things have got moving again.

Very anxious time for everyone. Anyone any idea how many have deferred? My very anxious other half is also on the panel

.

bono_v · 30-09-2011 5:25pm

Holy god what a lovely surprise for us all!! Im early 90's on the panel so would be the class after the november class. Been told it could be around March. Anyone hear anything on this??

Chervill · 02-10-2011 10:03am

Does anyone know if emt trainees get an allowance for accommadation etc for the 8 weeks from the hse? I miss-placed some of my info and also the latest wage that we will get. I know it changed from the first information that we got last year. Just doing a bit of budgeting for the 8 weeks ahead. Thanks.

It's highly unlikely any announcements regarding what's involved in the 2012 budget would be announced before the end of the year. But don't let that discourage you or otherwise.
See how close to the starting dates candidates for the next two classes received notice, and further classes would, in the current climate, expect similar notice.

No money or allowance for any of your time in the college. There is a few B &B that do special rates. Try to get in with friends or family. This year and early next year you will be spending a lot of time there. 8 weeks, then 3 weeks after your first placement. Another 2weeks after part 1 exams. 1week driving course, 3 weeks for part 2exams. Hope this helps.

Chervill · 02-10-2011 8:29pm

Thanks for that hightower... wasnt sure.

Griffindore · 11-10-2011 8:12am

It was great to hear on the radio yesterday, a dedication played for the paramedic class 11 who just passed their exams in Ballinasloe. Big well done to them all. That'll be us soon enough. Anyone heard of a date for orientation yet for class 13 Ballinasloe??

seangannon · 11-10-2011 12:28pm

The Carlton Shearwater provides a rate of €40 per person per night fully inclusive of a full irish breakfast and a main course evening meal in their bar. Still checking for more deals in other places though.

seangannon · 11-10-2011 12:34pm

Here is a list of all accommodation in the area

Heard that more than likely there will not be an orientation day for Nov class. We will all meet on the 1st Nov in Ballinasloe and go through uniform measurements, forms etc. We will get an email from the college with all the details soon. Only 2 1/2 weeks to go. :P

subscriber · 11-10-2011 7:48pm

we (the october class) were informed today that out orientation day so to speak will be our first day of the course. Formal introduction to staff , facilities, premises and measurement for uniforms (although they will not be ready for us for some weeks). We were told to dress smart casual until such time as we receive them. Shirts, flat shoes, slacks , ect..

They also gave us a list of things to bring on our first day which included

an open mind?
driving licence
pens, paper

Mossie1m · 11-10-2011 8:41pm

Hi Dave, delighted to hear you got the call, do you mind me asking what number on the panel you were, i am just outside number 100 on it and was wondering how close it is to me now?

ParaHappyman · 12-10-2011 4:38pm

How ye!!I am also meant to be starting in Ballinasloe on the 1st of Nov!was delighted when I got the call!I was just wondering if we will be getting contracts sent out in the post before we start, or if all of that will be taken care of on the first day(which it appears will be an orientation day) ??
