Yes appointable and waiting for the call too. Any speculation on when calls may be out? None of us will be in before the end of June anyway.

SMS19

Also appointable in the 890-910ML range I think I could be waiting a few months.

NornIron74

Appointable here too 880-900

acnipsni123

Yep same boat as most of you, was made appointable just before this all started, ~750ish so hoping to get the call as soon as they start up again.

What are the rest of you up to during this lock down? Anybody's current job still have them working? I'm classed as essential worker still so I'm not stuck in the house all day thankfully, be straight from one essential service to another by the looks of things, although this new one is far more essential I'd say haha

Good opportunity for a extra month or so to improve fitness anyway, anybody any idea what the fitness program is like during GV? Passed the PCA easily enough and do a fair amount of cardio and some kettlebell work but would like to be prepared for it.

All the gyms across PSNI are all closed at the minute so fitness within the training college is on a back burner. Just keep up to speed with your cardio for now and you'll be fine

I’m the same as you. Do you work on AC systems? Just a stab in the dark going by your username.

Hello all,

I'm in the same boat appointable

ML 580-600

Hopefully not too long a wait for progress.

4thelads

Guys there is a squad going in shortly and another I think is still waiting in the wings. There was to be 3 weeks between them squads originally. Hopefully we will get a call in the next few weeks about a July squad as senior squads will move to another site from then to make room

W221

I think there is a start soon and another towards end of June.

Calls for July are going out towards the end of May but it’s been suggested that July will largely be filled by deferrals from April too. There may be some space for noobs like us but you’d need a decent ML number.

Beyond that there is no August intake, next intake being end of September.

Gonzo94

Any idea why there's no August intake? Just curious.

Probably just to lower numbers in GV, no October intake either

traviswach

How many more intakes are they planning on taking and roughly how many per intake?

They will exhaust the merit list

Gonzo94

Ah fair enough that makes sense. I'm a long way off the waiting room anyway at the moment. Still waiting on vetting and a rescheduled date for medical.

51 firm positions and 5 reserve every intake

I know there’s July, September and November confirmed so we can assume January would be next and so on

They’ve reduced the courses running from 6 to 3

From what I heard there's a December one too

acnipsni123

Could be a little longer than I expected then before I get the call, waited this long already what difference is a few more months hahaha

Great info on here good to be kept in the loop makes it easier!

4 months or so seems like an eternity now but looking back I got my progression email/vetting forms 5 months ago which seems like nothing.

AV701

Prepare yourselves for more waiting, numbers are vastly reduced atm, using extra campus to facilitate senior squads but only 2 permitted in gville which looks unlikely to change in the near future, once numbers go back up can’t see extra facility being used as their wouldnt be enough staff to cover both. Also, despite gyms being closed i would advise you stay on top of training, sessions are tight as frig!! Good luck and well done to you all for getting this far!

god I don't miss that AV callsign 🀣

So do you automatically become appointable once everything is passed? Like ive got my medical and vetting now done as well so is that it, will my next contact from them be a starting date?

Yes if you have passed all 5 stages then you are appointable, you won't get an email to say you're appointable. Next step is just waiting on that call, what is your ML bracket?

Very hard to say when you’ll get a call. I’m sub 430 on the ML and they told me it could be a couple of months yet.

Bound to be a fair few deferrals from earlier in the year in the July squad now that Unis are finishing up.

Boobysingleton

I hope for a call soon hi... Only so much plucking chickens I can cope with. My fingers are red raw.

I want to get stuck into gv. Maybe pick up a woman or 3

That’s the big problem for us hopefuls, I was told a lot of deferrals are heading for the July squad

mcc212ajc

Boobysingleton

Yeah we were very fortunate to get through medical before recruitment ground to a halt, my medical was at the start of march and I became appointable just before st Patricks day.

@walrussel you were probably in the same day as me. I think they started to cancel appointments later that day for some people. We got lucky 😅
