Folks, you'd be wise not to post your actual Order Of Merit on an open forum.

Not a wise move at all!!!

It's just identifying information and posting something like that it's not a good idea in a public forum. Perhaps I should have done a proper message about it and said not to post earlier instead of just dont mention your place.

Thats odd you cant edit. Try desktop site? or try to report it? And I will aswell if you want me to

Why is there a box about interview times and group and written exercise's sent out with the document about booking in for stage 2?

Hi all, I am through to the next stage but cannot find the mybooking tab on my profile. Can anyone help me to figure out how to book a place for the next round of testing? Thanks in advance.

The document is information about orientation times when you are attending stage 2 and sitting the assessment

If you get the job where is the training and how long is it etc.

was it like 6 weeks in portlaois then 6 weeks in Dublin? Correct me if im wrong there but pretty sure I have read that somewhere

SmashFaceAndy1

Im not sure if i read this wrong earlier and cant double check right now as iv no access to a computer at the moment but did i read something about having to have your leaving cert results with you for stage 2 or 3?
Found it a bit odd and a friend who is currently a prison guard said he never had to do it.

Thanks in advance

niteclubbecks

daniel1390

I rang them up and I had within the week , that was only a month or so ago, they are lovely to deal with and very helpful

I love reading all the messages and seeing how eager people are to join what they would perceive as a professional public service organisation.. And then you get in and find the reality is NOWHERE near .
If anyone has any questions on the actual job itself, trawl back to a thread by Allyg - Prison officer - is it a dangerous job. Every question you want to ask has been asked and answered on that forum. A few by my good self.
Good luck to anyone applying.... and if you get in ... I'll see you down the rabbit hole.

Can you bring a calculator to the aptitude test or is one provided for you? Going next Tues to do it in Dublin and just wanted to know. Thanks.
