Student Paramedic 2023

OnzyHD

Looking for any information on a course outline/schedule for year one as a student paramedic?

do we need to relocate for the first year?

mdawgz

I got a recommendation to proceed today for cork, anyone else?

OnzyHD

Yes I also got Cork. Spoke to course director and as it’s new this year details are being ironed out but they will have accommodation recommendations closer to the time.

have you gotten the pre employment email yet?

mdawgz

I just got the email today requesting my documents

minilad

Can anymore shed more light on the verification of service document? Is that just for public service/hse employees or everyone?

Thanks.

mdawgz

I emailed to ask and it is only for public service workers.

mdawgz

NDLS are saying it could be up to 15 days until I get my driver statement, what are you meant to do if they take longer than the deadline?

Legend thank you! Was panicking a bit there trying to figure it out 😂

minilad

2 days is a bit unrealistic to get all the documents in, I'd presume they're more interested in getting the garda vetting process started and references etc should be ok to send ndls letter once we get it

mdawgz

What college are you for?

minilad

Ballinasloe, you?

mdawgz

Cork

RE96olol

Did anyone get any confirmation email after sending in documents?

Hi all,

Just jumping in as this seams to be the most recent thread.

As of today Is anyone else going through the most recent campaign offically at eligibility sift phase? There seams to be little to no chats from anyone from new campaign.

Hi, I’m filling out Garda vetting form at the moment. Threads have been very quiet

minilad

Currently hounding my references to fill out the forms 😂

minilad

Is anyone feeling like we could get an earlier call up than September? Are pre employment checks usually done this far in advance

paddy46

@minilad what forms is that?

Im not sure.. The start date was only amended to 11/09 on Tuesday, I think it will take a lot of time. Isn't there some kind of a health/fitness test to do also?

Do ye mind me asking when did ye sit interviews , and when were ye placed on panel ?

im trying to join dots and piece together timelines. for a rough idea on how much of a panel is currently left.

Thanks

minilad

The forms we had to send our references to fill out and send on.

There's no fitness test, just a medical exam and you have to do a step test if your bmi is over a certain number

I sat interview in November, and panel went live at the end of November

paddy46

@Daisys99 Interview was 24/10/22 Panel started in November. Expression of interest sent out on 01/02/2023. Recommendation to proceed was 28/02

@minilad I didn’t get any letter to give references to send on. I got a contact details form and rang my references to get their email address and phone number?

paddy46

@minilad nevermind.. I just got the form…

SpydS

Tullamore start date changed again? No longer 9/11?

Daisys99

The new panel is going live May 3rd.

Shinebright33

Yea I am on the new panel too , do u know how many students are took is it 30 per college , am I right there is 4 colleges , I do hear silgo is going to be doing it too

Shinebright33

waa just wondering if there is many left on previous panel too try and work out when maybe I would get in to a college

mdawgz

I don’t know how many is left on the panel but the next start date should be in January I think

Daisys99

I reckon wont have long to wait for EOI'S.

They went out in Feb for a Sept class. So if the process takes that long, EOI'S for January will be very shortly.

Would be great to know what panel they will be pulled from.

Daisys99

EOI's are out

Hey can I ask did how long we’re use on the panel before u were offered a college space ? I am just on the new panel

SunnyDays6

Hi all.

I am also on the new panel created 3rd May.

Would also love to know how many are left on the panels ahead of us.

Does anyone know how many were panelled from the interviews held a few weeks ago?

minilad

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120555177#Comment_120555177

As far as I remember the panel went live at the end of November and spaces were offered at the end of Feb so roughly 3 months

Shinebright33

do u know how many was on your panel is your panel oct 2022

adhdave88

Hi all, got on the new panel on the third and hoping for cork but honestly will take whatever im offered as I've heard cork is full. Any chance someone know an answer to the original question about relocating being necessary?

hiya7

No idea what way its working. Did anyone who expressed an interest in tallagh hear back yet?

Daisys99

Haven't heard anything yet. The waiting is Painful

hiya7

Did you express an interest in Tallagh?

Daisys99

Bsloe.

Tennn

Hi all,

I've been in the recent campaign and got placed 32 on the panel. Haven't heard anything back regarding EOIs. Now I did get made active the week after the panel went live on the 3rd May cause I only got my license activated. So just wondering how long will it take to receive word back considering some have received word already. Waiting has been torture, so is it just a case of continuing to wait impatiently haha ?

paris9999998

Anyone hear anything yet about medicals? Still waiting on a date, was initially told it would be around end of May but still no word yet

mdawgz

Yes same. I think the email said no earlier than the end of May so will probably be soon enough

adhdave88

Far as I know the people getting EOIs are from the earlier panel and had a wait of about 3 months. If you're on the supplementary panel like me we've a bit to go yet 😅

Daisys99

🙈 Not True.

Im on panel that went live May 3rd. Got EOI May 3rd.

Fair enough ignore me then. Would you mind sharing what number you were?

Suaimhneach

Hiya

My brother got placed high 30s on the November 2022 panel (though it was delayed because of a mix up, his interviews were later) and he was told the Tallaght course is full.

There was a later EOI as one place opened up, but he didn't get offered it.

We can't make heads or tails of how it works. Is there a simple explanation anywhere?

He just got an email recently about a supplementary panel opening for Jan 24 intake too, and it's hard to know if he's basically guaranteed a place on it based on his Nov 22 placement? And it's hard to know if he should interview again for it. 🤔

Any help / guidance / explaining is so appreciated.

mdawgz

Has anyone heard from occupational health?

minilad

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120745360#Comment_120745360

I emailed them last week, they said they didn't have dates for our medicals yet. The waiting is killer!

RE96olol

Wonder what happens if we’re on holidays?

minilad

They mentioned in email that you can send on any dates you're not available to the occupational health email address

mdawgz

It’s crazy! It’ll certainly be cutting it close for people who need to get accommodation or give notice.
