    Trainer in Templemore informed me there wasn't enough candidates for a January intake.

    There not going to come out and say there isn't enough candidates for intakes.[/quote

    Seems like a fairly elaborate cover up for something not many people care about outside of us that are waiting to start.

    There’s always rumors that they’re struggling for numbers but it’s never stopped them before.

    Hi just found out today I passed my interview came in 500.
    So confused though. If another campaign comes out in the meantime I don't have to start the process again do i if i dont get called by then?
    How many trainees go down at one time?

    Thanks!

    if you pass the medical/physical...etc you are good. You will be called eventually. You do not have to do the entire process again.
    they are due to be taking 3 groups of 200 next year(2019). This will include people from previous years. So you may be called in 2019 or 2020. There seems to be no hard and fast rule. It depends on your own individual situation. The background check can take some time.
    Im in the same/similar boat as you. There are applicants still waiting from 2016/17 it seems.

    Anyone know what's the story with annual leave when in Templemore?
    Was wondering if you are up there during December would the 2 weeks you get off be over Christmas or is it one week Christmas and one week at some other stage during he course.
    Think I'd go crazy I'd it was only a few days off ha

    Forgot to mention I know people who had PCT in July and they were from June 17 and most of them got offers for October. Remember the January intake was pushed back to April because they don't have enough candidates for it to go ahead.

    They didn’t have enough numbers? I thought they would have too many people going for it? I passed my interview last week so I’m presuming I’ll be called the end of next year all going to plan.

    I have a holiday booked for August just a Thursday - Monday so it’s a fair question and I’d like to think they would be consider the time off request... if something was already booked.

    Yeah been a nightmare not knowing if I could plan anything or not because I don't know when I'll be starting at all .Just depends on how tight the college schedule is and how missing a week would affect you .

    Two weeks. Given at the discretion of the powers that be.
    Everyone I believe has got them but it's not a guarantee as far as I've heard.

    Does anyone know roughly how many are still waiting from past years? I can't imagine 400+ are still waiting from the last two years.

    Hey, I'm from June '17 and I'm still vetting outstanding, strangely enuf, I've lived in Oz and Nz and that vetting is clear but my local isn't and I was a reserve for 4 years. I'm told it's with my local super at the moment so hopefully they just weren't saying that and I'll make April. I done my medical last April, if I don't get it by then, will I have redo my medical/physical? I didn't realise that they expire?? I done my physical in June.

    I was in contact with them last week but I have since found out since I posted here that the medical and physical don't expire for 3 years after completion. It's frustrating now though, I done my interview 14 months ago. Here's hoping for April!

    Well if it’s any consolation there seems to be loads waiting from 2017 in the same situation.
