    i've a feeling there'll be 9 or 10 intakes, just going by the numbers. There's 378 spaces and there's been 6 intakes, that haven't all been completely filled. Stay positive people, pass the PCA and medical, get the online learning done and you've done all you can.

    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!

    I definitely get where you are coming from, it was only the other day I realised I'd had two birthdays since applying for the September 2013 campagin.

    They've done it before in previous campaigns. People sitting waiting for the call suddenly get a letter saying recruitment freeze, thanks but no thanks. All those folk had to reapply from the start.

    I suppose that's why it's vital to apply on every campaign as a back up. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and all that :)

    I do think there are a few more intakes..I got offer in last calls and did think I needed to defer,thankfully I've a very understanding other half and in the end accepted..when I said about possibly having to defer they lady explained the process..I would assume if there were no more intakes she would of either told me or warned me about the danger of deferring at this time but there was none of that.
    From that I'd say they is a very good chance of a few more intakes..surely if there wasn't she would of said there was no intake to defer to!
    I know it's not easy,but count out your 5weeks+cross everything your in next intake!

    Hiya I just about passed the IST would a low score have a massive impact upon qualifying? Assuming that you get a decent AC score.

    It could possibly be used as a tiebreaker if there's one space left and two people with same ac score. But then again with this process they may just toss a coin!

    Add me to that list of waiting.... :) Delighted to have everything completed now. Any idea on the wait between getting the Thumbs up for medical and getting a call? How much notice do they give once called as well? Any ideas?

    Lol you don't want to know how long some of us have been waiting!! Basically you have to have passed everything at least 4 weeks before the next lot of calls. You're invited to an induction weekend a couple of weeks after and I think it's 5 weeks from the call to start date

    I had to provide additional evidence for my medical (is wasn't classed as a pass/fail on the day) and was told I had passed twelve weeks later. The following week I got the call, so the four weeks doesn't appear to be true?

    Just going on what the lady from HR told me when I quizzed why my vetting passed in august but didn't get a September call with 71%AC and therefore my PCA expired and I'm having to repeat.

    Sorry to hear that. :( You probably have enough experience on this board now to replace Shield as moderator though. ;)

    Get a blank page every time I try to edit my above message. To clarify, I wasn't saying you were lying or anything! :P Just seems odd that you've been told one thing yet it may not actually be the case.

    Bear this in mind: You may have got a letter to say that you passed the medical within a few days of your appointment but you will also have provided a sample for the SMT which takes time and your vetting won't close until that result comes back.

    It's alright. I wasn't assuming that at all. I've had my eyes opened during this recruitment process and I've seen how many variations there can be according to how long people wait etc. it's all taken with a pinch if salt. I'm not on here saying I'm right or someone else is, I'm just sharing my experiences lol

    Just got a reminder email for AC. Should I go?

    Just missed the call last time by a few places, so should be in this next batch, unless there's another spanner in the works ! :pac:

    With all the uncertainty with budgets etc for NI and the DUP announcement today Id be throwing my hat into as many rings as possible. I don't think it will happen but I certainly wouldn't be surprised if all the current recruitment isn't filled considering the higher pay. What's the harm in going for it?
