    Hi jw_sweetman

    I was the exact same when starting January gone ! It’s smart casual , especially if you are going to be doing the diploma . On days you are out of the office i.e meeting taxpayers and agents , , it’s smart then ! But in general Revenue is smart casual!

    Hi Densey12, I'm starting in Revenue in September and will be doing the diploma also. I was just wondering how are you getting on. The training/diploma last for 6 months, is this correct? Have you been meeting taxpayers/agents since you started or do you have to finish the diploma first? I'm looking forward to starting and was delighted to get an offer before the panel expired. Thanks in advance.

    I heard Waterford was offered. 10 EOs starting in Sep. Ring them back and see if Waterford is available as I heard they rang a few people twice.

    The diploma is 2 to 3 years depending on how intense they put on the classes... Usually 2 years now. Otherwise qualified accountants etc can do 13 week training which is not assessed but is there to help with audit work etc

    Got in last years competition. Started at the end of August in Dublin. I'm split between classes for the diploma in D'olier st and practical training in Lansdowne road. The diplomas a level 7 qualification so it's not too bad. Classes are held during work hours and over the past two months it's been a 50-50 split between classes and training.

    Fairly sure that the diploma is a level 6. The degree is a level 8

    The diploma is level 7. I have previously confirmed this with UL who award it.

    Hi I’m currently on the 2018 panel for Louth.
    What way does the training work for this? Will I be based in Dublin for the duration of the training - full 2 years and then be transferred or what way does it work? Really confused ...

    Here are the dates I worked out based on the calls for 2017 before. It was a national panel then so it wasn't broken down to regions in the calls.

    Various locations(with people turning down locations and waiting on panel for preferred location)(one chap waiting on Northwest Ranked top 30 until 27/1/2018 for offer)
    26th Oct Results out
    27th Oct Rank 1-5 called
    3rd Nov Rank 1-50 called
    6th Nov Rank 75-100 called
    7th Nov Rank 105-110 called
    16th Nov Rank 120's Speculation called
    22nd Nov Rank 135 Speculation called
    24th Nov Rank 135-140 called
    5th Dec Rank 150+ speculation called
    12th Dec - 7th Jan 2018 Rank 155-160 not called
    15th Feb 2018 Rank 155-160 called

    15th Feb 2018 Rank 155-160 called
    7th June 2018 Rank 160s called

    Thanks for your reply! I was ranked in the 120s in the original national rankings and am still awaiting an offer so am losing hope. Hopefully something might happen yet but it's hard to know at this stage.

    Thanks again 👍
