Garda Trainee November 2017 intake

TallGlass

Might as well fire this one up, I think it's safe to say most of the August invites have been released to most people. Congrats if you got one! (Don't take my word for it, there does be ad-hoc invites sent out!).

So the journey continues on for the others like myself.

Hopefully it's November for us. I will pop the FAQ in this post once I get the chance.

So let's continue as the August one might get taken over by the guys with intake related questions!

Someone asked the other day what life in Templemore was like when your training. I saw this link today on FB that gives a good overview from someone who was there last year

Heya Henry, how did your daughter get on with her fitness test over the weekend? All set for November fingers crossed?

She didn't do it as they said she wouldn't be finished by 1.00 and she had to be in work then so gave her a new date of 12 August

At least that's soon and she's still in the running for November. That was nice of them too to be so accommodating. I wish her all the best with it anyway.

Has anyone's vetting recently been signed off , waiting since may for it to be signed off, wondering is it worth ringing? I also seen an article saying Commissioner is on 5 weeks holidays.

Did they say what they are gonna do with it?

They should look at developing some sort of simple portal that we can log into to check on our status. I'm sure it would save alot of ringing and emailing.

Nah no timeframe etc. But that pile will undoubtedly be signed off prior to November intake.

There's one on 12 August, it's worth calling and offering to go on cancellation list

damob1995

Jimmibar

Hi guys anyone on here waiting long for a pct retest ?

MrBlack93

Every day brings us closer to an offer. It really is a long way to Tipperary!

Just read an artical, one of the things I noticed is it mentioned that the Deputy Commissioner will take up any tasks during leave that the Commissioner would normally perform, now I am not sure if that means signing off our documents. But I would say it more than likely will. Also the leave is 7 weeks, but as the first week was worked leave is 6 weeks, so 6 until the commissioner is back.
