    Has anyone who received S2 results in October received an interview date yet?

    I'm well down the list at ~1200 I'm not expecting to get called any time soon but some people with very low OOMs could have by now

    From reading another forum it appears that people with an OOM number of 680 has their interviews last week so stay positive it may be sooner than you think. I am 1100 and I will post when I hear anything but Im guessing it will be mid January-early Feb

    rats :pac: im in the 1200 musta just missed out, did you get mailed your familiarization pack? seeing as they arent a required base cert, i imagine photocopies would be suffice, unless they are certs showing your irish standard.

    No information given just an email for booking.
    I have my leaving cert official certificate. Just my highest academic qualification would be the level 6 so I’m just unsure

    I’m in the low 1200, can’t remember exact figure but when do you expect us to be called? I booked the prep course with Garda IP but I’m in cork so travelling to Dublin for it very near to Xmas. Would I get away with doing it after Christmas because it’s a lot of money ajd travel expenses to travel up!

    Didn’t even know you could do that! Will Defo look into it thanks. Would rather it be after Christmas all the sake of time allowed because it would be fresher!

    Absolutely heartbroken today. Got 37 on Job Simulation and passed the other 3.. It was probably my last chance at 33... 51 on report writing and was least confident about that!! Good luck to all who got through.

    I got 64 in report writing and 38 in job simulation so failed aswell. I’m pretty sure there will be another opening in 2020 so don’t lose hope

    I have actually done my prep course with Noel.
    He is well worth travelling across country for. He’ll prepare you the best way possible and tailor the session so you give the best interview that you possibly can give.

    I’m sure there’s many great people in the business but going by my experience and that of others I know - he’s top notch!

    Is formal clothes ok for stage 3 interview for a girl or does it have to be suit pants with white shirt? Would a suit pants with a good top be ok? What did others wear?

    They say within a month, but it's generally faster than that. I had mine in only two or three days.

    I did my interview in the first week of October, had my result by the 9th. Got my GP clearance form on the 24th of October. I got an email on 06/11 telling me that my date for the PCT would be 06/12 and then got another email on the 25/11 telling me that if I were successful with my PCT, I would need to attend the medical on either the 11th or 12th of December.

    Mine move pretty fast compared to the first campaign I was a part of.

    Hi, on Monday I received an email saying if past my recent interview and name was being passed on and my order of merit number. Today I’m after getting a message saying that it was an error and I in fact didn’t pass. Has this ever happened anyone before? I’m devastated by it.
