AshleyOH

A thread for all who are currently going through stage three of the process!

BuzzMcdonnell

Has anyone done a stage 3 preparation course yet?

4572h

Is anyone doing the Gardaip coarse?

BuzzMcdonnell

Has anyone received the familiarization material and form B yet?

Interviews are starting this day week - we should have them today..

A week isn't particularly long to prepare (I know we basically all have the material but still)

I’ve been gathering all of my families information so I can just fill it in.
Yes, starting this day week, i’m doing mine that day.

Familiarisation material just sent out. Form B isn’t being sent out now until all of the stages are finished.

Ya definitely not ideal!

In what way have they changed?

lucymangoo96

There still similar to what was there before but have changed slightly, they are more specific to role of Garda.

If you have prepped answers already, they should still be useable in my opionion

Make sure you have the competencies well prepared, at least 2 examples for each.

MacDonnacha

Is it necessary to have form b filled out for the interview then? It says on garda website and the form we received after stage 2 that we needed it but the form hasn’t been sent out yet?

lucymangoo96

They said they're not sending it out until after the interviews and will only be sending it to those who pass.
Saves time and effort for them I suppose.

Mar_mar27

So if you pass the interview they will send out form B?

How long before the interview do they send out the competencies ? should we have them 2 weeks before the interview ?

Best of luck - anxious few weeks wait now :eek:

Think first 160 or something like that.

mascherano11

I’m in the 700’s so just trying to gauge how long before I’m called

Based on what I've heard, probably calling roughly 160 per month.

AshleyOH

I’ve a feeling if they said results out week of the 2nd we’ll be looking at the 5th or the 6th!

Yeah I was thinking the Thursday/Friday aswell!! Still a lot better than 3 weeks after the last day of them.

maryf97

Just finished the interview there, thank god it’s over. Quite tough, I hate that you can never tell after an interview if it went well or not but best of luck to everyone :-)

They must be inviting a lot if they went to 430. Thats great. I can't see 161 going through after first interview stage. More spaces for the rest of us
