    Well done for gettin through the interview. Now it's just a fitness and medical test that awaits us.

    Is everyone training?

    Thought I'd just continue with a separate thread as we've done from the beginning.

    In past classes, boardsies met up prior to the start of training, and it was very helpful to them I think!

    "Subject to you complying with the educational qualification requirements
    set out for this campaign, your name is being forwarded to An Garda
    Síochána in order to be considered for Stage 5"

    "The Public Appointments Service is currently completing qualification
    checks."

    Still haven't sent names to AGS then until this is sorted. So I would say it will be next week before we hear anything on medical physical.

    I reckon they just got sick of people asking them so released the results prior to full qualification checks.

    Anyone have any idea what's in the medical? Are there criteria published anywhere that the medical people use as a reference? Worried about a few things, including my teeth. I think I need some fillings but I'm no dentist so can't say for sure. Have always looked after my teeth to avoid the need to go to the Dentist, of whom I am absolutely petrified. Throw me into an angry mob but keep me away from dentists.

    Book an appointment at the dentist today! Getting a filling isn't as bad as it used to be.
    There are other threads on here that detail what is involved in the medical. Sorry I'm not able to post a link

    Taking it in batches maybe?
    To be honest, just thankful I passed. I know I'll be called up it's just a matter of when now.

    I received a mail for the Open Day too (placed in the 60s). Want me down next Thursday but there's no chance of me getting the day off work.

    I tried calling but the person looking after the schedules is not in the office today.

    Yes agreed. Therefore I wont be able to make the "Open Day" as I want to keep the last minute notice days off for the medical and PCT which will be probably two days off in the next fortnight.
