AC completed......hard to judge how it went. Report at the end was tricky and I didn’t get it completed in time.

Well done! It’s pretty stressful that’s for sure. Don’t worry too much about the reports, they aren’t scored as heavily as the role plays. The first time I did the AC in 1509 I made a complete balls of the written stuff but still ended up with an overall B grade.

Is it May 10th yet? The suspense is doing me in!

How’s everyone doing with the AC? I assume they’re on every day?

Hi all!

First time on here - also found the AC very tricky with no notion of whether or not it went well or terribly!

Wishing everyone the best of luck, hopefully the wait isn't too long...

Hi guys. I've my assessment centre next week. Wondering what it will be like ? What is the equivalent of GCSE'S in the republic of Ireland? Are they somewhere between the junior cert and leaving cert ? I'm from the republic so don't have GCSE'S

Have you got a leaving cert? Im ROI as well and did my AC for 1710 last year. Leaving cert was all I had and was fine and on ML waiting now. I don't exactly know where it falls between GCSE'S and a levels but like I said should be enough. Just make sure you have the original document and not the statement of provisional results with you.

1. Is there really nowhere to leave your bag and phone?
2. How did you deal with nerves?
3. What's one tip or piece of advice you wish someone gave you before AC?
4. Any tips for report writing? ðŸ™„

1. They take your phone off you and its kept in a plastic bag. There is a room for jackets/bags I think but they said about leave at own risk
2. Nerves happen just try your best sleep and breakfast will help
Got nothing for 3 or 4 sorry..

Yes I do. They said it was fine on the day I had the originals thankfully. Yes it is confusing about the NFQs but should be grand. Not sure how it went haha very different than an interview

question guys, in terms of CV, did you write a new one, did you bring one to day 1/AC?

You don’t need a CV at all, just bring the documentation requested in the invitation email.

Hey folks. How's everyone killing the time to the results? Take it the last A.C. is at the end of march?

It was frying my head but not too bad now. Work has been very busy so that helps keep my mind off it. I had my AC early January, it felt like May was so far away. 8 weeks down, 8 weeks still to go!

Andy smith

I feel i really messed up my ac.really don’t know what to make of it!not feeling confident whatsoever but no one on this appears to feel confident afterwards so who knows ðŸ€·*♂️

wonkyempresso

Yea the a.c. is tough. Especially the time limits but if it's anyone's first time at least you semi know what to expect now which is a big help. The wait is deadly. From application to earliest start is nearly a year. I can only imagine how bad it was for people in the 2015 campaign.

Nuggets007

Have my AC tomorrow, this is my first time applying since 2013, just passed the IST by 1 mark. Been reading all the post on this forum trying to get as much information as possible. Anyone have any tips for the action plans?

Hi, how are you all?

Haven't been on much since completing the ac. Like others who have previously posted, I don't know how I feel performance wise at all!

I have came away feeling I could of done so much better and the stuff that keeps coming to mind that I should of said or did... all part of the process I guess. Not holding out much hope, but was glad to experience it so next year i can prepare better for it... personal circumstances at the moment held me back a little but completed it anyway as I know I would of just wondered what if.. just want to wish everyone best of luck.. waiting game continues.

I'm a worrier so just checking but if you bring your phone can you check it in? Is that certain?

I need my phone for arrangements for after but want to check...

Yes they will provide a clear plastic sealed bag that is assigned with your number and they will hand you it back at the end. Don't worry it's very well planned out.

Feeling rubbish after today. Was anyone else on here there?
I think I should have organised my written work better. Now a long wait... but know you guys have had it worse.

G18

Don’t worry. I felt the same leaving last week. You can bet if your feeling rubbish, 90% will be feeling the same. Although, the wait is the worst, I agree.

I certainly felt the same way and feel I didn’t perform well during the role plays or written work.It is hard to judge though and we could be wrong and actually done well enough at it. From previous campaigns people felt they done very poor and ended up doing well.
By May 10th we will know our faith......let’s hope it’s good news.

Anyone else looking at the previous campaigns thread for timeframes etc.. theirs seems a lot more active than ours.. is there another place people are discussing 1810 or are we just a quieter group in general?
Anyone else finding it Funny how you don't feel you have done well at all but yet are impatient for the results.. i should be putting it out of my mind yet I'm counting down the days .

The time frame seems normal to me compared to 1509. Once this stage passes it’ll go quite quickly, if you’re successful at the AC. As for the AC itself, I also felt weird afterwards. It looks like it’s been designed that way though. In 1509 there was a definite “story” to follow and even solve but I didn’t feel anything like that in 1810.

As soon as I’d completed this AC I was counting down the days for results but I’ve been able to put it out of my mind recently, I’ve been waiting since start of January

I agree. Out of interest I viewed last year's thread and whilst there seems to be arguments and other debacles in the thread it seems more chatty.

Also noticed that towards the end of March there were a few fast tracked so maybe it'll happen to a lucky few this year.
