    A friend is a CDO now that they have been absorbed into the PSNI and no longer Noonan. Their pay has increased.

    4 on and 4 off

    So when you take your leave into account you are only working 5 months of the year.

    Weekdays £8.66 p/hr
    Saturdays is time and half. £12.99 p/hr
    Sunday double time £17.32 p/hr

    Don't know about rest of you but if in get into police I'll already be taking a considerable pay cut. But it's the job I want. So the pay for police staff isnt really a factor as its essentially "training" in my eyes. The CDO job has the same goals as police constable e.g. the accountability, working with others etc etc. So applying for it is a good back up as you will be taught everything for that job and in the chance you failed psni you will have a better understanding of the core needs of the psni on your next attempt.

    Probably scanning and rolling out the emails in order that the IST was completed, if you don’t get it in a day or two then fire them an email and say your buddy got an email confirming and you didn’t and you want to make sure your IST was successfully logged

    This thread seems to have died recently, the website says that the IST is likely to reopen today sometime for those to complete theirs that had problems first time around. Any thoughts as to if this extra time will push back the results date of 18th/19th December?

    Wouldn't be surprised if the results are delayed until after Xmas due to the time of year and the last week of technical issues - but lets hope not.
    If the results are delayed for a week or so, I wonder if that will impact on the AC dates?

    If the results are pushed back then the whole process gets pushed back which means later AC, later PCA, later medical and later GV start!

    It’s like dominos, once one falls then the next one falls and the next one and the next one

    Hopefully they work double time and still meet the 18th deadline

    Doubt they will miss the deadline or if they do it won't be by much as they will already be in the S-H-I-T for the IST cock up

    They will be in trouble and probably fined for failing to provide the service as promised to the PSNI.

    I hope they do meet it but I can see it being pushed back due to the extended IST dates

    They were already doing a late IST for those who need reasonable adjustment so again I doubt the knock on affect will be drastic

    No I know a few people still waiting for their link for adjusted ist.
    Hopefully the results still come out around 19th. But if not, nothing we can do. Just more time to practice for the AC. Everyone just needs to relax. Just becausd they say a date doesnt mean 9am on that date etc. Pretty sure last campaign I got results through just before 8pm on the day the results were due

    The nerves will be jangling when people start posting up here that the results are in. I might need to get someone else to open my email
