Hi guys. Just wondering does anybody know about getting time off during training? I know in templemore it is very hard and thats understandable. I might need two weeks off after the 32 weeks in college in a garda station for a wedding in OZ. Does anybody know of people getting off at this time? Is it a bit easier to get off when stationed? Im signed off and in low 100s so thinking ill be called in April. Just trying to sort out things. Thanks...

which campaign you are? I doubt it they will let you 2 weeks off but it depends where you stationed , we do have 2 weeks I think ''reading week'' where we don't attend college...

Sourced from:
NOTES FOR APPLICANTS
AND
CONDITIONS OF SERVICE SEPTEMBER 2016

"Phase I is 32 weeks duration plus 2 weeks leave. The initial period of 34 weeks which includes two reading weeks comprises a block period at the Garda College."

The two reading weeks are at the end and I know of a previous Garda Trainee who went on holidays during these reading weeks. So I'd say you're fine.

Sorry read it wrong

This training period may be extended for longer periods as the Garda Commissioner so directs. On successful completion of Phase I training the Trainee Garda will be attested and will progress to Phase II of their training. The Trainee Garda will now be a Probationer Garda and will be appointed as a member of An Garda Síochána.

Phase II:
Phase II is 34 weeks in total (17 weeks assisting and 17 weeks assisted)

Might be best to ask the Super when you do get that start at phase II for the time off.

September 2016 oom in the 700s. I'm so fed up of waiting, people from later campaigns getting in and people with higher oom getting in and my vetting still not done so I've completely given up hope for April.... Anyone know the next intake after April??

Don't give up the hope bud, it can all change in just one day ... fingers crossed

I don't think it will be today anyway... it would be mad fire out offers before the weekend... they'd come back Monday with thousands of messages and phone calls...
I'd recon from next week Tuesday ...

Hi guys just wondering if anyone knows if the April offers are out yet or how much notice they give for an intake and how they offer it. I have all stages passed since august of 2017 and no offer yet, figured as I am in college they may leave the offer til I finish this coming may but at this stage I'm really wondering if I'll get one at all any answers would be appreciated

Offers are expected to be out this week which would give you four weeks notice. As far as I know you can defer an intake if you have a reason such as finishing college.

It's worth getting your degree though as you can skip three pay scales after your first few years in the job.

If you have everything done and your vetting is clear and file signed off you will get an offer 100% but when only God knows,

I doubt they are waiting on you to finish college to offer you a place, more like you have just been lucky/unlucky you haven't got one and you may be able to finish college... If you get an offer for April it is really up to you, you can defer it if you wish to finish your college or leave college to join Templemore.
