How long did it take from close of entry to hear anytihng back about interviews or what not ,

cmc35

Just seen the application deadline has been extended until this Thursday. I wonder if that's because not too many applications have been sent in?

An announcement was made by cabinet today that all public sector sector workers are getting a pay increase so this means prison officers will get their wages bumped up along with teachers, nurses, gardai, etc.

chunks28

Just wondering did anyone get an email for time & venue for fitness test for the 20th of October yet?

japunia

Not yet but Should be soon

paul98

Same as no time or place yet just have my date 20th of October are ye doing much prep for it

japunia

Got email today to be ready for 9:30am 20 October.

Yes I do some preparation mostly shuttle rest I think should be fine.

paul98

same as that just did some gym work and running anyone Iv been talking to has said it’s very rarely failed so I must be very doable for anyone

chunks28

Just a quick question does anyone know if they do a weight & height check at the pct test I heard today that they do but they are not sure

paul98

I’m not sure they did it at that medical so I doubt it they would need do it again?

japunia

Was done on the medical by gp

obi1canobie

They'll measure your height but don't weigh you.

dealzer

Is the audiogram still required?

japunia

Not anymore,Your gp will do simple test only instead.

japunia

Congratulations to everyone who pass physical today :) can't wait for 27 November to start ;)

dealzer

Congratulations all, Did they give you that start date straight after the physical? Do you not have to wait for clearance.

japunia

Yes they give staring date 27 November, but they said that clearence must be done befoee start.
