Garda Trainee November 2017 intake

Mr.cool212

Everything complete just waiting for vetting to be signed off. Would like to make November but by the looks of oom on here not looking likely. I presume it's likely there will be another 800 recruited next year if we can speculate?

Vetting outstanding. HR not giving any information out anymore about it either. Dunno if that's good or bad. What part of vetting. Unreal how long this takes. November starting to fade away at this stage.

With the way things are with medical defferals, medical failures, fitness failures, fitness defferals, outstanding vetting and no-shows anything is possible.

Low oom of 200 myself, going by previous intakes I'm very confident at being offered a place but I'm also prepared for the possibility that I might not be called.

It's all a waiting game sadly. Putting my life on hold for this.

In January 2016 OOM Low 1000. Have everything boxed off since April. So hoping finally November intake for me. It's been a long time coming.

Anyone any idea if there are intake next year and what months? If not I can fire off an email to a TD to find out.

I'd assume the same. February, may, August and November.

No harm asking HRM?

Just wondering if anyone knows if hrm actually tell you your file is signed off?? seems everybody is told it's going for final checks or for sign off.

They'll tell you if it's been signed off. They've just got a massive stack to work through at the moment

File signed off on after quite a while. From November 15 intake so hoping i'll get a call for next intake. Can somebody shed a light on the OOM procedure? Haven't seen many from November intake so wondering if I'd be before the january and september people even with my OOM being in 500s? Thanks

Congrats!!!! :pac::pac::pac::pac:

Older campaigns are given priority and your campaign is more or less exhausted so you're pretty much guaranteed a spot in the November intake. :)

Do you think we have a good chance of making November intake ?? been told that my file is gone for sign off and I've an oom of around 280 from Sept 16.

Thanks

I can't say anything with any level of certainty but in my opinion I think you're in a good position for a potential november offer

November 15 and January 16 are the same campaign

Canyon86

Many here from the September 2016 campaign ?

So there are 2 campaigns possibly ahead of me so ? 2015 and Jan 2016?

Think that poster made an error, the last campaign before jan 2016 was in 2014 I believe and that campaign has been exhausted.

Potential confusion on my behalf. I originally applied in November 15 when the campaign opened so would that put me in the January campaign?

There's still a few from the 2013 campaign due to deferrals etc and may get priority for each upcoming intake.

Yeah it would! Campaign closed applications in January. I'm also from the January 16 campaign waiting for intake.

OOM is early 1000.. I don't know to be honest but I really don't think So! I was pushed back because I was on holidays for my first interview date and then had to get a deferral for eye surgery after the medical. I imagine it would just be people in a similar boat to me with small push backs and that.😊

Awh that is such a pain! Please God it is! I was talking to HRM the other day and they said the offers won't go out for November until the last week of September/ first week of October.. giving just 3-4 weeks notice. Another month of waiting to do at least...ugh!

AlisonT123

Mid May when I had my physical there was 10 no shows on the day, so if you take into account people repeating Medicals,physicals, no shows and people from older intakes that may give a rough idea of what intake you could be put in. usually 200 in each intake

smiley963

Just to make you aware. Don't take everything HRM say for granted.
1. Update on vetting was told waiting to be signed off. Two weeks ago.

2. Last week informed vetting still outstanding

3. This week informed vetting waiting to be signed off and there's about 150's candidates waiting to be signed.

So take what you want from that. Sept 16 campaign meself.
