There was no number, but it is all official documentation. Sent it off this morning. Nothing has changed since o first filled them in anyway. It'll do no harm

March intake has already started... *there is no hint of jealousy in my voice at all, by the way.
April, yeah I think we've missed out on that one too
Here's dreaming of a May intake

Lol. That's what I meant.
March calls for April intake have passed us by. So maybe April calls for may intake or even may calls for June intake (if there is one)?
Otherwise a colossal two year waste of time

There was a pool of candidates from C1 with everything passed but no squad for them, we were sent the dear john letters towards the end of April. If they're still still putting people through medicals I'd say they'll do another one hopefully 2 intakes.
It's not a good feeling and I totally sympathise with anyone who doesn't make it that far but you have to keep reapplying and trying. Took me long enough lol. You'll get there 0 -

What I don't get is, if they are only going to go ahead with maybe another two intakes for the 1405 campaign, why did they send vetting info out not long ago to some. Surely with some people on here saying their vetting took 6 months or so, then its a bit of a blunder on their part (psni's part)?
I dunno. Suppose just wait and see and fingers crossed I passed assessment centre for 1509 for worst case scenario lol. :P0 -

this makes sense. probably send out vetting forms the day before they close off the 1405 campaign 0 -

Nothing makes sense with PSNI recruitment lol.
So much money seems to get wasted putting people through each stage and then not offering a place or redoing PCAs/medical/vetting after 6 months have passed. I understand the reasoning behind why the latter needs to be done but it just seems wasteful.0 -

^^^^^ happened to me! Pretty much had my life on hold since 2013 but for me it's worth it and I'm not saying that now I'm starting, I had totally written off this campaign as Highbury would definitely confirm and I was waiting on my shot in C3, pretty much another 2 years.
If anything it will test your resolve and patience just about as much as the job will, whatever happens, embrace it, it's tough if it doesn't go your way, I collapsed on the floor and poured my heart out, I was so sure I was getting in. It taught me patience and not to take anything for granted, they were the personal lessons I needed to learn. I know everyone isn't the same as me but that's what I had to think to get through the disappointment and heartbreak.
I'm not sure if I believe in fate or not but when I compare my life to then, there's no way I could have managed my family and the training. I'm in a much better place now and we're all set, kids too, for this mental time lol and I can't help but think that things happen for a reason.
It's a tough job to get into and it's tougher training and I'm sure the job will be more so but I've no doubt it will, for me, be totally worth it. Just keep going and keep applying, if it's for you it won't pass you and I wouldn't write off C2 until you officially hear anything. Stay positive 0 -

great post Mop as always
I haven't totally written off 1405 but with only one or two sets of calls left potentially, have to consider it a possibility that I'm not amongst the final candidates called...
Definitely the hard work starting once you get the call though. so good luck to those who are ticking down to their impending starting dates

Depends on numbers and budget. However, they still have to progress people to be ready to go in in case people decline the offer etc. Fingers crossed for you all. I know your pain all too well
still loving the job buddy?
your posts are always a great help and its nice to have someone such as yourself posting on here (having been through the whole recruitment process and also G.V) 0 -

Honestly could not see myself doing anything else any more. It has it's tough moments but it's such a worthwhile career and there's no better feeling than helping those in need, be it petty situations or genuinely saving a life!
I wish when I was going through the process there was a voice of reason to fire questions at, so I'm more than happy to try and be that person0 -
