I only wish my eyes were as good - ur sorted. the closer it is to zero the better. your are only slightly shortsighted. Im +4.50 in both eyes (which isnt that bad so this shows that your eyes are good) so I am long sighted. I wear contact lenses. You wont need to worry about the eye test at all. The last time I done it I could read it with my contacts out!
Excellent! I was worrying that your sight had to be perfect or something and haven't a clue what all this 6/12 nonsense is about - i've heard of 20/20 but wasn't sure what it equates to!
The optician told me that a friend of hers applied for fire service with a similar prescription and got in and they are apparently quite strict so she thought it would be fine too - my mind is at rest now
(apart from still waiting on this flipping medical appointment) 0 -

Yeah eyes have to be good for NIFRS - no contacts/glasses allowed - I was going to apply the last time but unable to because of this.Excellent!

Hello all - I too applied for the Custody Officer role and got my little brown letter saying "congrats" but due to high volume of apps we'll be in touch blah blah...that was dated the 14th June. Having read through "most" of the posts on this forum I feel completely deflated now...having built myself up thinking I just had to pass the CTC check and medical!
Ive heard nothing since June - no letter or forms to complete - and I only sent an email today to find out my order of merit number. Sooooo if I'm placed anything over say 250 on this merit list then its unlikely I'll get through to the next stage? Is this true ? or just rumour?...or merely a chinese whisper thats grew and grew?
In ONE post i read someone stated that 561 people passed the AC..? How the frig did they find that out? Outa 5000 odd who applied, they could only whittle it down to 561 for a proposed 200 positions!?....even with a "reserve list" required why have an additonal 300 people waiting? :eek: Sorry about all the questions...but does anyone exactly know whats going on or are we all just second guessing due to the limited information ?0 -
Top 200 on merit list got the CTC and medicals, the others that passed got the letter you got - recruitment dept informed me. A few posts back a person who was in the 200s got CTC form today so maybe they are taking more than 200 on - not sure yetBILLYSAUCE wrote: »Hello all - I too applied for the Custody Officer role and got my little brown letter saying "congrats" but due to high volume of apps we'll be in touch blah blah...that was dated the 14th June.

Where to start - the fact that you have not got a dear john is positive in its self - your merit number is an indication of where you have placed in the current campaign - ideally lower is better, however it does not guarantee a place. You will find that there will be people who have placed well in the merit pool but will drop out for any number of reasons - medical, better job, ctc checks, change of heart - it will happen so it is impossible to say if I score above X I will not get in. You will also find that some people with low merit scores may be delayed in getting a place through medical issues or ctc checks and therefore some people with higher merits may start ahead of them as they clear the process sooner (happened me in the PSNI) - re does anyone know exactly what is going on - the answer to this is no - I have spoken to recruitment and they confirmed they were still not 100% on all the details - so what hope have we - Hope some of this helps - good luck 67j0 -
