    That depends on your local stations. I meet with both in the same week and I still haven't even done my fitness yet!

    hi does anyone know how you can track your vetting. I see a few posts on here from people saying that their vetting was outstanding. How do you go about checking that out.

    Thanks

    For those who've made it through the interviews?

    How did ye approach the competency questions?

    Was it a single specific example - interpersonal skills and service ethos:
    'I worked as a shop assistant on the customer service desk, one specific instance stands out as the customer was quite irritated about.....'
    or is it more of - 'When I worked on a customer service desk I dealt with a number of instances that required strong interpersonal skill...'

    Basically do they want to hear about the instance with the wagon from up the road or do they want to hear about how in that line of work you were often tasked with dealing with irritated customers, you had to work to solve problems and come to agreements etc.
    I've mine at the end of the month so I'm a little concerned.

    Hey folks I have my PCT on Tuesday and just got an email to invite me for medical on Thursday if I pass. All seems a tad rushed god knows how I’m gonna get another day of work to drive down.

    Can anyone give me a breakdown of what happens during the medical and is there anything other than BMI can be a straight fail? My eyesight and hearing is fine. Cheers

    I'm down for PCT on Tuesday too, nothing about medical though. That's very odd. AFAIK medical fails are pretty rare, BMI is the only thing I can think of thats a straight fair other than colour blindness? If you've doctors clearence to do the PCT it should be fine

    Cheers - aye I’ve never had any medical issues until I had my gallbladder removed this time and I’ve a letter from my surgeon saying I’m fit to continue training and take my PCT. I read somewhere dental can be a fail would liked to get in to see dentist before test but with only getting 6 days notice that won’t happen. So just fingers crossed I suppose

    my sergeant told me that they don't fail you on dental, they check it and if you need work done they just tell you to get it sorted, but not fail you.

    Do you guys know how much notice we get before the pct? Worried about it clashing with a 2 day trip on the 13th. Is it possible that I can get called next week? Or has there been more notice given usually?
