    Looked through some old paper work and found my invitation to the college to commence training 9 years ago

    Phase 1 2 day induction
    Phase 2 56 hours legal studies with exams broken into 3 hour modules
    Phase 3 2 days in college..self defence / radio training / role play /handcuff training
    Phase 4 40 hours operational Station Training
    Phase 5 Attestation

    Remember you will need to supply HR in the Park with your original birth cert . When you attend the college on the first day you will need proof of ID ..passport and driving license. Married ladies will need their marraige certificate
    Dress is smart casual
    Also required is track suit and runners

    Well man was that 56 hours on phase two done over two weeks in templemore or done at a local station?
    They never said to us anything about our birth cert?

    Hi guys,

    I'm heading down to Templemore myself next weekend, and just wondering if anybody knows what to expect over the two days? Which reminds me, I need to source a laptop 😅

    Also, it's nice to read existing Reserve's posts, and the solidarity displayed.

    Hi, Just wondering if this intake is from the spring 2017 campaign.
    I came OOM 1 in my region, passed all the stages but heard nothing after the medical which was May 2018. Just wondering is there anyone to contact in relation to this I've sent emails and spoke to one person but got no further.
    Any idea how many reserves they expect to take in during this period, i seen 99 started today in Templemore.

    any help would be appreciated.

    thanks

    Same here, 2017 interview & exam.. I had my last meeting with the Super Intd in Aug 2018. Still waiting for my call for medical... was hoping to be down there already. The commissioner told the P.A there would be 100 in the first & second quarter so I'm now hoping to be going down in the next intake...
