Im not discrediting your information in any way but one thing ive learnt over the last 20 months is that the campaigns are very unpredictable and information is subject to change.

If they do only take 300 im rite on the edge and it could be touch and go.

How do appointments justify employment? I mean, people between 100 and 120 on the list may have the same score. What happens if numbers 100-110 get a place but 111-120 dont? Surely thats not fair if all those people achieved the same grade!

The merit list is based on the AC score. So say there are 10 people who all scored 60, then to put them in order of merit they go back to the IST score. The chances of all 10 people having the same IST score is remote. Add in the 50:50 policy and it would safe to assume that very, very few people would realistically be 'tied' for a place.

Hope this helps.

Would have thought some may have got the call today. Assuming the first intake would be going in some time in Jan they'd be needing to give at least a months notice to allow the majority of people to sort out current employment. Anyone shed any light?

I am not in the loop on dates etc but I would have thought the first intake would be some time in Jan at the earliest. That gives them a while to call.

Fingers crossed our phones start going soon!

Hi all, I am just wondering how to get my merit number. I sent in my vetting stuff in Aug and passed medical in Sept. Do they send out your merit number or is there someone I can call. Thanks

MrsMikeLowrey · 15-02-2010 2:36pm

Ring the switchboard 90650222 and ask for external appointments, they will give you your merit number, just remember when you post it here to be approximate, never post your exact figure

Good luck!

BelfastJarhead · 15-02-2010 3:36pm

Thanks MrsMikeLowry, Just waiting on vetting! metit number between 130 and 150.

MrsMikeLowrey · 15-02-2010 4:02pm

been viewing this site on and off for some time. Been hoping for a call before now but no luck yet. Had my medical and passed at start of Aug 09, vetting forms returned July 09. RC 220 ish merit. security cleared for govt jobs in past. Grateful for any advice that anyone can give.

cheers

Hi hanging_on,

Don't quote me but from reading previous posts I believe you can e-mail/ contact PSNI regarding your vetting and they will tell you if it has cleared or is still on-going. Great score.

mutter_man · 02-03-2010 3:09am

First off hanging on don't worry about how long you've been waiting. If all has cleared through depending on where they are in merit lists you could get the call soon or a number of months from now or if your especially unlucky have to be vetted again and then finally get the call a year from now. There are people waiting over 2 years since start of their application for one reason or another so you don't need to get jittery just yet

p.s. they are still clearing up c14 ers at the minute

hanging_on · 02-03-2010 12:59pm

Cheers,

heard from a friend in the job that the phonecalls went out in the last week or so for the march intake. Back to square again got another initial assessment coming up in next couple of weeks.

MrsMikeLowrey · 03-03-2010 9:53am

Just found out yesterday my vetting has cleared. YAY!!! This was of course after Id sat the IST for C16, but ah well

Congrats on getting the vetting result. I just found out I did not pass vetting due to fixed penalty tickets and parking tickets. All were paid on time so I was surprised they were taken into account.

I'm sure you will get the call very soon. Good luck for GV.

Mulling it over at present. I was gutted when I realised what the letter was all about. Really wasn't expecting it. I guess that is a lesson learnt for me.

I cant even begin to imagine how you are feeling after getting this far. Were they recent tickets etc?

Ring external apts and ask for the email address, they will only correspond via email. They are usually very quick at responding, they will either tell you if its cleared or ongoing

Mine took from beg Nov until this week

FogInHell · 03-03-2010 1:37pm

Im really gutted for you Misterjay. I think you should appeal. What were the fixed penalties for?

I guess they can afford to pick and choose due to the number of applicants.

Bubbles34 · 03-03-2010 5:45pm

That seems really harsh Mjay.........how many tickets and fines are we talking about........did you disclose them on your vetting forms??

Shield · 03-03-2010 7:03pm

At this point, I would refer all to the charter, specifically the bit where it advises people not to gradually disclose pieces of information that, when compiled, could disclose their identity to those who monitor this forum.

hanging_on · 03-03-2010 9:35pm

Congrats, on you result. Just sat my c16 ist today. will try to ring external appointments and get the email addess to check on vetting progress. Any word what intake you will be on?

MrsMikeLowrey · 04-03-2010 10:12am

Ring external apts and ask for the email address for vetting

gazzabelfast · 04-03-2010 9:32pm

hmmmm i have the e-mail address but it does say not to contact them unless its for a change of details or whatever. I think ill just leave it.

is this the final stage...so once you pass vetting there is nothing to stop you from the start line that is HG?
