    I rang today hq. The person didn't even ask my name. She just said if I haven't heard anything our file isn't complete and we won't be in in July. She was probably sick of the calls. So what is the next tread going to be called?

    I dunno but I think I'm gonna stay off this. Fair play to people getting an offer and no malice towards the guy I'm talking about but hearing that guy did his fitness on Saturday and already got an offer in less than a week is a absolute outrage for the likes of us that have been waiting since 2016. I did my fitness last August, nearly a year and my file has never budged.

    You probably know this but anyway - should you fail to be in July intake, you will need to re do PCT to have a chance of October, they will email you w a date around September time.
    This is because PCT has a 1 yr expiry as does the medical.

    My advice is start training soon, don't let it be a surprise.

    I did my pct last September and medical last May. Do you reckon I'll have to do both for October intake?

    I hate to say but yes you will unless you slip under the radar, it might be something they miss and they just give you an offer.

    It’s absolutely crazy stuff, there has to be some course of action available to applicants. It surely cannot take 18 months to vet someone, 6 months max and then its either a yes or no & let the person move on..

    I'm from Sept 16 too. Nothing against the previous poster either but its definitely a kick in the teeth to hear of someone doing the pct on a Saturday and getting the call the following Monday. The amounts of different things ive turned down/missed in the last 6months or so, on the off chance of getting a start date. Its pretty poor form that you should be expected to put your life on hold for 18+ months, with little or no updates at all.

    Same here September 2016 and vetting still outstanding I am assuming it is the couple of family I have living abroad. Really am struggling with the waiting now really am hoping to get good news for the next intake. Two years in September since I applied, and over a year since the medical. Could perhaps us all from the September 16 campaign set up a thread to stay in touch regarding updates ect...? Because it's difficult filtering through this one at the minute.

    There's just an outline of maternity and sick leave, an extensive FAQ document which is very helpful, they also ask for a list of relatives up to and including first cousins residing in the Republic of Ireland, so I'd say make a start on that now. A list of items to bring for training but most of them have to be purchased at the college.
