    U will get notifications when training places become available and you have opportunity to express interest. Avg wait could be 6 to 12 mths depending on where you sit on the panel.

    Thanks for that. Tried ringing but no answer , will try again. Im wondering is there an actual guideline anywhere to see what vision requirements are for a paramedic? I have sent a couple emails off for him to find out but heard nothing also. If any other person can give their views it would be great, thanks

    For anyone in the same position as me, i got a reply from Ambulance service in relation to my sons colourblindness. They have said that there is no general guidelines for eyesight so hopefully he can proceed to take this career path after his leaving cert next June.

    Looking for 2 people to share a room? you'd swear there was housing crisis :)

    Padraig whether its a housing crisis or not, I have a large room/extension to rent separate from the main house. I have a paramedic staying here already and I am going on feedback. I'm sure somebody traveling from the country paying a ridiculous amount of money to stay in a local hotel room with no facilities would gladly appreciate what I have to offer :)
