Well if you qualified you passed! Congrats! Got between 65-80.
Had my interview on the 6th of May. Medical is early June.

I was in the category of 70-85, did my interview the 26th of April. Did your results and medical date come together?

Did one for the 2008 campaign so not sure if it's the same but I think they roughly check the same things...nurse does the eye test which is off a board, urine test and hearing test which is in a small sound proofed room. Peak flow test also. Then upstairs to the doctor who does the remainder - height, weight, hernia check, general medical history. That's all I can remember at the moment and it was quite a few years ago so I hope this helps!

I don't know, I would guess only those who passed the interview. We got an email invitation to attend the open day.

I haven't got an email about an open day or medical date, Passed the interview but the results was the last email I received. Ranked in 65-80 wonder has that anything to do with it

Hey guys sorry just want to confirm what the BMI criteria is? I'm seeing under 30 in some old posts is that the case still.

SmileyPaul

I don't know about the bmi to be honest dude, I've read 30 in other places too though.

I'm gonna be heading down on the 28th from Dublin, medical is on the third.

How's everyone's fitness coming along?

Alright actually. After work yesterday ran the beep test got to 9.00 easy, 25 push ups easy. 35 sit ups in 54 seconds.

Yourself ?

SmileyPaul

I knew I was unfit but even in the last week due to motivation alone I've made good progress on the sit-ups and push ups so they should be grand. Nearly back to 5:30 a kilometre but haven't tried a beep test yet

Is there one available as an mp4 on the website? I've been traipsing through YouTube with no luck for the proper one.

Beep fitness test. Make sure it's the right one.
It pushes you but not to much.

yeah theres an ios app for sure!

A colleague of mine got through to this stage also, they raised an interesting point about the fitness test and whether the beep test complies with equality legislation having different levels for men and women. Might be more of a point for the legal forum but does anybody know?

SmileyPaul

No idea!

This thread doesn't seem to be picking up much traction yet, gonna run through the beep test tomorrow and I'll let yas know, do we have any rough estimates on numbers that will be attending on Friday?

confuseddude

Just wondering the guys who have received their medical dates and open day invitation was it in your publicjobs account or personal email?
